Today's event started at 8 a.m. with measurements and two exercises inside the Wasserman Football Center weight room. After cataloging heights, weights and wing spans, each Bruin maxed out their repetitions on the 225-pound bench press and recorded their vertical jump.

Pro Day activities then transitioned outside onto Spaulding Field. Those drills included the broad jump (on turf), 40-yard dash (on grass), shuttle run (on turf) and "L" drill (on turf). The day concluded with specialized drills for each of the eight position groups.

DiGiorgio and Smith III were among the 319 former college players who participated in the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. earlier this spring from Feb. 26-March 1.

Running back Anthony Frias II put forth a remarkable Pro Day performance. The Turlock, Calif. native repped out 30 on the bench press which would have ranked second among all players and first among all running backs at the 2026 NFL Combine. Frias played in all 12 games as a reserve running back in 2025 while leading UCLA with 7.6 yards per carry. He registered the top performance of the year by a Bruin running back with a career-high 97 rushing yards on just four carries in a win against Maryland on Oct. 18.

Wide receiver Titus Mokiao-Atimalala exhibited his ball-catching abilities, making a one-handed grab on the sideline during his position drills.

The 18 professional prospects continue to prepare for the 2026 NFL Draft, which is scheduled for April 23-25 in Pittsburgh, Pa. Full coverage will air on NFL Network, ABC and ESPN.
