Ethan Garbers, TJ Harden land on magazine covers

Harden and Garbers get the covers.

The UCLA Bruins football program has a lot of returning faces. Ethan Garbers is the starting quarterback and TJ Harden will be the starting running back, and he was even in the trailer for the new EA Sports 2025 college football video game. 

The Lindy’s Sports and Athlon Sports magazines featured a pair of UCLA players in Garbers and Harden.

A massive story coming into this season is all of the shuffling around the conferences. The Pac-12 folding and the Big Ten Conference and Big 12 Conference expanding are some notable things.

Garbers threw for 984 yards with nine touchdowns and is entering his senior season in Westwood.

Harden ran for 722 yards with six touchdowns. With the departure of Carson Steele to the NFL, Harden should be the workhorse at the position, although it will be interesting to see how the new-look scheme will work out. Nonetheless, UCLA getting national coverage is quite interesting.
