The typical UCLA home game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena gives invited recruits a pregame sideline view of player warm-ups before heading off to the seats to watch the game.

Lucien Holland, a 2025 Inglewood (Calif.) edge rusher who committed to Boise State in June, was among a select handful of recruits who got a private pregame meeting with Bruins first-year head coach DeShaun Foster as the players got ready Saturday prior to kickoff against Minnesota.

Holland told Bruin Blitz on Sunday afternoon that the gesture left a positive impression.
