Randall Goforth, Jaleel Wadood and Tahaan Goodman had long been fixtures at the safety positions for UCLA Football. Two of those three are gone this year. It isn’t just the safeties that need addressing as the Bruins lost CBs Fabian Moreau to the NFL Draft and CB Marcus Rios to graduation. To make matters more dire projected starter at CB Johhny Johnson transferred early in Spring.
You’d think with all of those losses the Bruins would be in full panic mode.
They do return starters CB Nate Meadors and S Jaleel Wadood and have impressive freshman CB Darnay Holmes waiting in the wings but the potential star of the show is new projected starter at safety, Adarius Pickett.
