Jay Toia, a UCLA alum and former Bruins defensive lineman, returned to the team as a volunteer assistant coach. Toia left UCLA after the 2018 season to pursue a professional football career. However, he was not selected in the NFL Draft and decided to return to UCLA to help the team’s defense. Toia’s experience and knowledge of the Bruins’ system will be valuable for the team, especially with the departure of several defensive coaches.
