New UCLA Football Roster Released: Interesting Changes

Any information regarding the thinking behind these roster changes?

Dalton Hilliard is listed as a RB, not a WR as indicated in the post.

According to the 2012 roster, Dalton Hilliard is listed as a RB, not a WR.

They changed some information on the roster a few days later. Hilliard was previously listed as a WR. They made him a RB because he played RB in high school, but I don't know why they had earlier switched him to a WR. As for all of the changes, some older positions do not exist anymore (such as tight end), and some players were playing out of position, in the minds of the coaching staff (Anthony Barr and others). I will change Hilliard right now though.

I'm sure you'll have your hands full with more roster changes after the incoming class is officially enrolled. Thanks for the early insight. I am going to surmise the coaches have been watching a lot of film to make some of these changes. Others might be just common sense; like moving a 200lb LB to the Secondary.
