UCLA football announced it hired three support staff on Thursday, including former Bruins kicker Nick Barr-Mira.

Making his return to Westwood, Barr-Mira will serve as the program's director of player development and alumni relations. UCLA also hired Brandon Rose as director of player personnel and Que Reid as assistant director of personnel and recruiting.

"We're excited to welcome Nick, Brandon and Que to our football family at UCLA,” said UCLA football head coach Bob Chesney, per UCLA Athletics. “Each of them brings a unique background, tremendous work ethic and a genuine passion for serving our student-athletes.

"Nick understands what it means to wear the UCLA uniform and will have an immediate impact mentoring our players and strengthening relationships with our alumni. Brandon has built an outstanding reputation in personnel and recruiting through his experiences in both college football and the NFL, and he'll be a tremendous asset as we continue to build our roster. Que embodies everything we value in our program. He earned the respect of everyone at James Madison as a player and as a member of our staff, and I'm excited to see him begin this next chapter in Westwood.

"More importantly, all three are outstanding people who fit our culture and will help us continue building a championship program the right way."
