His signing bonus is worth $9.2 million. The deal is fully g...

New UCLA head coach DeShaun Foster feels the momentum swing around the football program. Basically, it’s good vibes only.

We’re being genuine. You can see that. What we’re preaching is true. We’re trying to be a family and it’s a real family. “You can see the alumni that a...

In 2024, the UCLA Bruins will be trying out a slew of whole new things. The Bruins will have a new head coach, DeShaun Foster, a whole new coaching staff, and a new way to relay plays on the field. This offseason, the NCAA approved helmet communication at the collegiate level, the same communication instrument used in the NFL.

There was seemingly a conversation between the two before the move became official. “He told me he wanted to hit the portal,” Foster said. “Good player.
