UCLA Bruins Slide to 17th in 2026 Recruiting Rankings

News summary

UCLA's football recruiting under DeShaun Foster had a strong start in June 2025 but faced setbacks with some de-commitments and lost battles, dropping their 2026 class ranking from 12th to 17th according to ESPN. Despite these challenges, Foster secured top offensive linemen like Micah Smith and Johnnie Jones and multiple wide receivers, including in-state four-star Kenneth Moore, while also pursuing promising defensive prospects such as Krew Jones for the 2027 class. Foster's approach emphasizes building long-term relationships with recruits, contributing to one of UCLA's best classes in over a decade. Meanwhile, the Boston Bruins NHL team is developing Vashek Blanar, a 2025 draft pick with high offensive potential but defensive weaknesses, under the mentorship of Adam McQuaid to prepare him for a possible NHL future. The Bruins' 2025 roster has been revamped but lacks proven leadership, leaving their playoff chances uncertain. The Chicago Bears are preparing for the 2025 NFL season with key defensive additions like Andrew Billings, whose injury in 2024 affected the team's run defense, but the arrival of new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen and veteran Grady Jarrett aims to strengthen the interior defensive line.
