UCLA has selected Ken Niumatalolo, Navy's all-time coaching wins leader, to coach its tight ends after he served in an off-field role for the program in 2023.

Niumatalolo was UCLA's director of leadership last year, advising both players and coaches, but coached the team's tight ends during preparation for the LA Bowl, which UCLA won over Boise State. He led Navy from 2007 to 2022, going 109-83 overall with 10 winning seasons, 10 wins against rival Army -- the most for any coach in the series -- and six Commander-in-Chief's Trophies.
