Demetrice Martin Rejoins UCLA as Coordinator

Demetrice Martin is leaving his position as cornerbacks coach at Michigan State to rejoin UCLA as the defensive-backs coach and passing-game coordinator. Martin, who played at Michigan State from 1992-95 and served on their coaching staff for just under a year, previously coached at UCLA from 2012-17. This move reunites him with UCLA head coach DeShaun Foster, as they had worked together on the UCLA staff previously. Martin's departure comes as a surprise given his recent return to his alma mater and the approaching early signing period, potentially influencing the recruitment of players he had committed to Michigan State. His coaching career includes stints at Oregon, USC, Washington, Arizona, and Colorado, with his recruiting skills being highly regarded in the sports community.
