It’s quite a haul for UCLA with return of three grad transfers, new quarterback

UCLA has put a big chunk of the band back together while leaving room for a new frontman.

After three graduate transfers announced Tuesday that they would return for the 2021 season, the Bruins landed a promising transfer quarterback when freshman Ethan Garbers said he was coming back to Southern California.

“I’m home … Westwood,” tweeted Garbers, the younger brother of California quarterback Chase Garbers and a former Corona del Mar High standout who spent last season redshirting at Washington.

Garbers led the Sea Kings to a state championship in 2019 as part of an undefeated season and projects as a possible replacement for UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson after Thompson-Robinson completes what’s expected to be his final college season in 2021.
