Happy Saturday! We are down to four weeks until the kick-off of the UCLA Bruins season. Reminder next Saturday the Bruins are hosting open practices for the first time. The next two Saturdays will allow you to check out the Bruins.
Today, as we are 28 days away, we celebrate the 28 on the roster. That is Jack Pedersen. Pedersen is a 6’4, 245 lbs tight end out of Murrieta California. He has been with the Bruins since 2022. Last season, he played in five games, which came after just a single game in the 2022 season.
Pedersen seems to currently be third on the depth chart for tight end. Moliki Matavao, a senior, along with Bryce Pierre, a grad transfer are ahead of him. Michael Churich is another kid that will battle for time at the position.
Bruin fans! Come out to camp! 🏈

UCLA and Hawaii will kick off four weeks from today. The Bruins will obviously leave early to arrive in Hawaii, but then have some time off after the game, as they do not play the next weekend.
