Recruiting the quarterback position is going to be crucial for UCLA this year.
The Bruins don't necessarily have a set QB1 beyond this upcoming season -- in fact, nothing is really set in stone just yet for 2025 as well.
As of now, the starter will likely be fifth-year transfer Joey Aguilar, who has just one season of eligibility remaining.
Recently, the Bruins extended an offer to class of 2026 three-star quarterback Gavin Sidwar from Warrington, Pennsylvania.
Sidwar announced the offer on social media on Wednesday, stating he talked with new Bruins offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tino Sunseri.

He has also receivd offers from Indiana, Penn State, Missouri, Maryland, Pitt, Ole Miss and Rutgers, among others.

UCLA did rather well recruiting quarterbacks from the class of 2025 The Bruins landed three-star quarterback Colton Gumino and a very promising four-star in Robert McDaniel.
The program is also returning a number of players at the position, including Henry Hasselback.
The Bruins will need to have a much better haul from the class of 2026 than they've had from the class of 2025. The staff was at a disadvantage having to play catch-up after the departure of Chip Kelly, but they rebounded decently.
