Keeping an eye on which Bruins are coming and going through the transfer portal this offseason.
Transfer season has officially begun in college football.
With the regular season coming to an end, there has been a rush of players joining the NCAA transfer portal. UCLA football (9-3, 6-3 Pac-12) has already lost players to the portal, and it will try once again to add key pieces to its upcoming roster through the new age team-building avenue. Last offseason, the Bruins watched 21 players leave the program via the portal, but they picked up 14 additions in exchange.
All Bruins is keeping track of who’s coming, who’s going, and who the staff is keeping an eye on heading into 2023.
