We are down to 40 days until the start of UCLA Bruins Football. DeShan Foster and his staff have a nice group of guys to get ready for the season.
Foster’s assistants, Eric Bienemy, Okaoka Malloe, Brian Norwood, Juan Castillo, Erik Frazier, Jerry Neuheisel, Marcus Thomas, Tony Washington Jr, Ted White, Kodi Whitfield and Keith Belton are working tirelessly to prepare for the 2024 campaign.
Today, since we are 40 days away, we wanted to celebrate Mone Malafu. He is a redshirt freshman, who is looking to get some time with the Bruins this season. The linebacker is from Kapa’a, Hawaii, so the game on August 31st is going to be a trip home.
He was a three-star recruit coming into UCLA. He played in one game in 2023 before redshirting. He was the 4th best prospect in the state of Hawaii when he was being recruited.
Malafu committed back in October of 2022. Here is his Twitter announcement:
