Brett Hundley, QB, #17, (2012-2014)

It may be a little early for this one, but Brett Hundley deserves a lot of credit for pulling UCLA Football out of a dark period. The Bruins were coming off the disastrous Rick Neuheisel era looking for a glimmer of hope. Hundley provided that and much more.

Hundley ranks second in UCLA football history for passing yards and ranks first in passing touchdowns with 75. His redshirt freshman season was statistically his best throwing for 3,740 yards and 29 touchdowns while leading UCLA to a nine win season, narrowly missing out on a Rose Bowl birth.

Like McNown, Hundley’s most compelling argument for having his jersey retired is his unbeaten record against USC, going 3-0 against the Trojans. Hundley was a fifth round pick by the Green Bay Packers in the 2015 NFL Draft.
