Ethan Garbers brings steady veteran poise to UCLA’s QB room
In the 2024 season, Ethan Garbers was UCLA’s starter and produced 2,727 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while completing 64.7% of his throws, showing he can handle a full-time workload with legitimate downfield production[1][5][15]. His calling card is experience: over four seasons at UCLA, he compiled 4,462 passing yards and 31 touchdown passes, and he adds enough mobility to matter without being a true run-first quarterback[4][15]. If you want a composed, battle-tested passer who has already taken real college hits and kept swinging, he fits the “steady hand” mold more than the fireworks show[13][15].
