Previewing UCLA's Offense for Fall Camp

In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy begin their preview of fall camp with an in-depth look at the offense heading into August.

We talked about the quarterbacks, and how we see the backup quarterback competition between Madden Iamaleava and Ty Dieffenbach shaking out. We also talked about the quality of the overall depth chart at the position.

We then discussed the running backs, which might be the deepest position group on the team in 2026. The starter, though, is still an open question, with three viable contenders, which we discuss.

We moved onto the receiving corps, where we are excited to watch Leland Smith, who is hopefully healthy for fall camp after being dinged up in the spring. We also talked about Brian Rowe and Landon Ellis, who will be the other two in the starting lineup. But we also touched on the rest of the depth chart, where UCLA probably has six to seven guys who are obviously playable at this level.

We touched on the tight end group, where we expect Josh Phifer to start, and then we expect a competition between Brayden Loftin and Noah Fox-Flores as the pass-catcher in the group.

We wrapped up with the offensive line, where there are still question marks at several spots. We're pretty confident in Riley Robell at center, and that two of Eugene Brooks, Carter Sweazie, and Julian Armella will start at the guard spots, and that some combination of Jordan Davis, Hall Schmidt, and JD Dean will start at tackle, but who exactly, and how well they'll play, is a big question. #UCLA #UCLAFootball #UCLABruins #UCLABasketball #On3
