UCLA gathered its NFL prospects for the Bruins' Pro Day event Monday morning. We were told the Bruins slotted their event time in with consideration of both Oregon's Tuesday event and the Big-12's conference-wide pro day event on the same day. Expected participants included defensive back Bryan Addison, offensive lineman Josh Carlin, tight end Michael Churich, long snapper Travis Drosos, quarterback Ethan Garbers, defensive back Ramon Henderson, offensive lineman Spencer Holstege, running back Keegan Jones, linebacker Ale Kaho, defensive back Devin Kirkwood, tight end Moliki Matavao, linebacker Kain Medrano, defensive back Kaylin Moore, defensive lineman Oluwafemi Oladejo, tight end Bryce Pierre, linebacker Carson Schwesinger, defensive lineman Cherif Seye, defensive lineman Jay Toia, linebacker Joseph Vaughn, and defensive back K.J. Wallace.

Schwesinger was the only player listed above to not participate in a single event. Schwesinger was there to offer moral support for his teammates and earned praise from head coach DeShaun Foster for doing so. Schwesinger had a solid outing in Indianapolis at the NFL Scouting Combine and the consensus was he had little to gain by participating today.

Both Foster and defensive coordinator Ikaika Malloe highlighted the performance of linebacker Joseph Vaughn. Vaughn hit Spaulding Field as anything but a sure thing draftwise but put up numbers across the board Foster and Malloe were convinced caught the eyes of the NFL scouts in attendance.
