Remembering Kenny Easley
Prior to kickoff, UCLA will be holding a moment of silence for the late Kenny Easley, who passed away on Saturday, Nov. 15 at the age of 66. Nicknamed "The Enforcer" and often associated with "F5" for his forceful style of play, Easley was inducted into the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame and the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame in 1991. He was welcomed into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017. Easley's No. 5 was retired by UCLA following his illustrious career in Westwood and his No. 45 was retired by the NFL's Seattle Seahawks in 2017.
Easley will be further honored during the 2026 football season. Details will come at a later date.

Honorary Captain
Carnell Lake (1985-88), one of the most dominant linebackers in UCLA history, will serve as honorary captain for Saturday night's game against Washington. Lake was a two-time All-American in his final two years at UCLA, helping lead the Bruins to a pair of 10-win seasons and victories in the 1987 Aloha Bowl over Florida and 1989 Cotton Bowl over Arkansas. In 1987, Lake led the Pac-10 Conference with a program-record 13.0 sacks – a record which stood for 16 years.
Lake still sits atop UCLA's career record book in tackles for loss (45.5) and ranks fourth in sacks (25.5) and 18th in total tackles (284).
Lake was drafted in the second round of the 1989 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers and enjoyed a stellar pro career as a safety, being named All-Pro four times and selected to five Pro Bowls. He was later named to the NFL All-Decade Team for the 1990s, finishing his career with 823 tackles, 16 forced fumbles and 16 interceptions, including three pick-6s. Lake, who played for the Steelers in 11 of his 13 NFL seasons, played opposite of former Bruin teammate Troy Aikman in the 1996 Super Bowl.
His son, Quentin Lake, followed in his footsteps as a standout defensive back at UCLA from 2017-21. Quentin was drafted in the sixth round by the Los Angeles Rams in the 2022 NFL Draft where he is currently a starter in the secondary.
