UCLA History at Cal State Fullerton
UCLA initially began practicing at CSUF in 2003. Practicing off-campus provides new head coach Bob Chesney and his staff with the opportunity to build chemistry as they enter his inaugural season with the Bruins. After training camp ends on August 27, UCLA will commence having closed practices.
Fall training camp will be the first time UCLA will practice as a team since spring practice concluded on May 2 with the Blue versus White Spring Game at the Rose Bowl. Chesney and his coaching staff have three months in between the end of spring practice and the beginning of training camp to evaluate the UCLA roster.
The Big Ten just announced that QB Nico Iamaleava, DB Cole Martin, LB Samuel Omosigho, and head coach Bob Chesney will represent UCLA at Big Ten Media Days.

Business Before Training Camp
Before UCLA begins training camp, quarterback Nico Iamaleava, defensive back Cole Martin, and linebacker Samuel Omosigho will appear at Big 10 Media Days on Wednesday. Iamaleava and Martin are key returnees for UCLA. Omosigho is entering his first season with UCLA after transferring from Oklahoma.
Early in training camp, establishing leaders and creating chemistry on the roster is critical for UCLA. Iamaleava, Martin, and Omosigho have already been identified as leaders with their selections to appear at Big 10 Media Days. The other leaders and key players for UCLA will emerge throughout training camp.
