Nov 20, 2023
Grabs nine balls in win
Loya reeled in 9 of 13 targets for 60 yards during Saturday's 38-20 victory against USC.
ANALYSIS
Loya didn't find the end zone, but he was easily Ethan Garbers' favorite target in the victory. Loya's numbers have jumped around a bit this season, and in the early weeks he was a victim of subpar quarterback play. He'll try to make a great last impression for NFL scouts net week against Cal.

111 receiving yards in victory
Loya caught all seven targets for 111 yards during Saturday's 28-16 victory over Colorado.
ANALYSIS
Chip Kelly's move from Dante Moore to Ethan Garbers' continues to reap benefits, as the Bruins' offense has shown new signs of life in recent weeks. While the running game hums on all cylinders, the receiving numbers sputtered under Moore's tenure. Loya enjoyed his best yardage total of the season in the victory.
Oct 15, 2023
Finds paydirt in loss
Loya posted five catches for 48 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 36-24 defeat to Oregon State.
ANALYSIS
UCLA's receiving corps will continue to have some uninspiring games with Dante Moore under center, but players like Loya will find a way to break through. The senior now has 23 catches for 271 yards and three touchdowns through six games.
Oct 7, 2023
Grabs touchdown pass in win
Loya had six catches for 46 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 25-17 victory against Washington State.
ANALYSIS
Loya is a stable target for youngster Dante Moore, as he added another touchdown to his totals. He now has 18 catches and 223 yards over five games this season, and his well on his way to exceeding his production from previous seasons with the Bruins.

Top receiver in anemic passing game
Loya gathered in 5 of 11 targets for 63 yards during Saturday's 14-7 loss to Utah.
ANALYSIS
Loya was Dante Moore's favorite target in the loss, but many of Moore's throws were uncatchable. Loya is a very talented receiver, but the UCLA wideouts are in for a rough 2023 campaign if their young quarterback can't remain consistent. The Bruins will face a slightly easier defense (Washington State) after the upcoming bye week.
Sep 10, 2023
Establishes rapport with Moore
Loya accrued four receptions (on six targets) for 77 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-10 win over San Diego State.
ANALYSIS
Loya was definitely in Dante Moore's sights throughout the game, and after several key departures from last season's receiving corps, Loya appears to be set up for a breakout year. Loya is already on pace to crush all of his previous yearly results. He's only 170 yards and two touchdowns away from eclipsing his 2022 totals, which are currently career-highs.

Starting in Week 1
Loya is listed as a starter ahead of Saturday's game against Coastal Carolina, James H. Williams of the Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Loya is listed alongside Kyle Ford, Kam Brown and J. Michael Sturdivant as the starting wide receivers for Saturday's season opener. Last season, Loya played in 11 games, catching 18 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns. Loya is a former four-star recruit who is playing in a larger role in 2023 than he has in prior years.
Oct 8, 2022
Rattles off 70-yard touchdown
Loya caught one pass for 70 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 42-32 win over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Dorian Thompson-Robinson hit Loya on a perfectly-executed drag route, and he took it to the house from there. The junior hasn't done much with the offense this season, but he dazzled with one of the top plays in Saturday's win.
Sep 18, 2022
Scores touchdown in win
Loya caught three passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 32-31 win over South Alabama.
ANALYSIS
Loya was an unlikely touchdown recipient, but he's been targeted seven times this season and is just coming off an injury. While it's possible that he may carve out a larger role moving forward, it's wider to see how he does in the next couple of weeks before counting on him for fantasy production.

Warming up for Week 2
Loya is warming up ahead of Saturday's game versus Alabama State,247Sports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Loya missed last week's contest against Bowling Green. Even if Loya is ready to go Saturday, it is unlikely he will see many targets.
