    UCLA had one of the youngest rosters in all of college football but were senior heavy at linebacker in 2019.
    The Bruins lost six linebackers due to graduation, and along with it valuable leadership and playmakers.
    Redshirt senior Leni Toailoa has taken on that leadership role this season. He played 11 games, with three starts, in 2019. Seven of his 33 tackles result in a loss of yardage.
