UCLA Football Transfer Portal Tracker 2023

Keeping an eye on which Bruins are coming and going through the transfer portal this offseason.

Transfer season is still underway in college football.

With last season firmly in the rear-view mirror and all the action of second window underway, there is once again a rush of players looking to find new homes via the NCAA transfer portal. UCLA football already lost and added players via the portal in December and January, 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 through the the portal, but they picked up 14 additions in exchange.

All Bruins is keeping track of who's coming and who's going heading into 2023.
