Carr Joins UCLA Coaching Staff | Fresno News
Description
Derek Carr, former NFL QB and Fresno State alum, has officially joined UCLA’s coaching staff as a special adviser to head coach Bob Chesney — arriving just one day after his retirement announcement. He’ll focus on game planning and quarterback development, marking a swift transition from the gridiron to the sidelines. The move echoes his roots at Fresno State, where he played before his pro career, and even includes a nostalgic reunion with Darrick Yray, who coached him there and now serves as UCLA’s GM. Meanwhile, Fresno State senior Merhauti Xepera earned Allstate Wuerffel Trophy watch list honors for 2026 — recognizing his athletic excellence, classroom leadership, and community impact, including mentoring Bulldogs at the Boys & Girls Club.
