about Devin
Devin attended Marina high school in Huntington Beach where he played four years of basketball and graduated from Long Beach State with a degree in Journalism. During his time at Long Beach State, Ugland served as the men’s basketball beat writer and sports editor for the award-winning Daily 49er student newspaper.
Ugland jumped into the newspaper industry out of college, landing a job covering high school and college sports with the Orange County Register where he covered a wide variety of boys and girls sports at the high school level. Devin has also worked for some other major print media publications, including the Los Angeles Times, USA TODAY, Long Beach Press-Telegram, Lindy's College Basketball Magazine, Rivals.com among many more. He has also hosted and appeared on various podcasts and radio shows. Devin also serves as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the men's basketball program at Fullerton College.
When he’s not in the gym scouting for the next diamond in the rough, Devin spends his time with his wife, Chelsea, and two dogs, Newman and Elaine (yes, from Seinfeld). Any other free time Ugland has - which is not much - is spent on the golf course where double bogeys are often recorded on the scorecard.
