Bruno Fina was on the move even before he entered the transfer portal Tuesday.
In a switch that might have foreshadowed a diminished role, UCLA’s starting left tackle from last season was playing right guard last week at a time when the Bruins were on the verge of bringing in another veteran tackle and guard.
The team has received commitments from Reuben Unije, who started 11 games last season at right tackle for Houston, and Alani Makihele, a former starting guard at Nevada Las Vegas, as part of its efforts to reinforce an offensive line that was a weakness last season.
