Honorary Captains
The 'Honorary Captain' is a Bruin Varsity Club gameday tradition that welcomes back esteemed student-athlete alumni, former coaches, and notable members of the UCLA Athletics community at home regular-season UCLA Football and select UCLA Basketball games. Honorary Captains are hosted throughout the day, with opportunities to reconnect with teammates, speak to UCLA Athletic supporters and/or the current team, participate in the coin toss, and be recognized on the field or court. This meaningful โwelcome homeโ moment for our alumni is an important nod to those who helped build the legacy of UCLA Athletics.
