With National Signing Day over, the UCLA Football team has their in-coming players set for next season, seven of which we predict could start in 2016.
The UCLA Football team brought in a stellar 2016 recruiting class that included several top players at key positions. It was imperative that the Bruin coaching staff stock up on players for depth in certain units and lock in players to help evolve the program. They did just that, especially for specific needs on offense, defense and special teams.
On offense, UCLA is looking for more power with Kennedy Polamalu taking over as Offensive Coordinator, so getting skilled position players was something the Bruins had to address.
They not only did that, but brought in a few players that WILL see time on the field in their first year. Some of these in-coming freshmen even have enough in their personal arsenal to eventually start, and getting true freshmen on the field is not out of the ordinary for Head Coach Jim Mora to do.
As for the defense, though the Bruins return nine starters, this class saw a plethora of talent sign with UCLA Football that will not just add depth but skill. In this class alone, UCLA added seven defensive linemen as well as one the top linebacker units in the country.
So with that in mind, here are seven players that could start for UCLA in 2016…
