Landon Ellis looks like UCLA’s built-in WR1 candidate with proven production and instant chemistry
In the 2025 season at James Madison, Landon Ellis posted 36 catches for 624 yards and 5 touchdowns, and he has already opened 2026 at UCLA with early usage before leaving the Cal game with an undisclosed injury that likely put him in concussion protocol. He stands out as a big, polished transfer receiver at 6-foot-2 and 217 pounds who followed coach Bob Chesney for familiarity, accountability, and a ready-made role. Why care? He projects as a tough, reliable outside target who can translate trust and experience into production fast—assuming the injury situation clears.
