Episode Details

Wayne Knight, the unsung transfer running back from James Madison, is UCLA’s biggest offseason gamble—and potential game-changer. Once a zero-star recruit with barely any offers, Knight quietly blossomed under new coaching, exploding for 1,300+ rushing yards and nine TDs as a junior while helping his team win their conference and reach the playoffs. Now he’s bringing that same explosive talent to UCLA, where a rebuilt offensive line and dual-threat versatility could finally fix the Bruins’ struggling run game. With Knight poised to be the focal point of UCLA’s offense in 2026, this move might just be the spark needed to turn around a program desperate for momentum.
