UCLA Bruins

The UCLA Bruins football program has hosted five-star edge rusher Asher Ghioto on a visit, as new head coach Bob Chesney looks to make a splash in recruiting.
Asher Ghioto, a 2028 recruit, traveled to Los Angeles for a two-day visit to check out the UCLA Bruins.
Ghioto is currently ranked as the No. 3 player in the nation according to 247 Sports' Composite Rankings.
This visit is a significant development for the UCLA Bruins, who are looking to turn around their recruiting efforts under new head coach Bob Chesney.
Chesney has already landed his first five-star recruit and is now working to bring in more top talent like Ghioto.
Ghioto has no shortage of offers, with Alabama, Miami, Georgia, Indiana, and Ohio State all offering the young pass rusher.
The UCLA Bruins will look to build on this momentum as they prepare for their next game against the California Golden Bears on 2026-09-06.
Ghioto's visit is a positive sign for the program, and fans will be eager to see if he ultimately decides to join the Bruins.
Asher Ghioto told On3 Sports' Greg Biggins that he likes the new staff at UCLA and their track record speaks for itself.
The UCLA Bruins are coming off a 3-9 season, but with new head coach Bob Chesney at the helm, there is optimism about the program's future.
Ghioto has the size and talent that the UCLA Bruins are looking for in an edge rusher, standing at 6’5” and weighing 240 lbs.
