UCLA Football News: Bruins Scrape into Top 10 of Transfer Portal Rankings

The Bruin transfers will look to play a big role in 2023

The UCLA Bruins are gearing up for an exciting 2023 season, filled with new faces and a significant influx of talent from the transfer portal. With a whopping 14 transfers joining their ranks, the Bruins have certainly added depth and skill to their roster. However, according to 247Sports columnist Brad Crawford, UCLA finds themselves ranked at number 10 in the transfer portal rankings.

Chip Kelly refaced his offense with several major additions, including one of this cycle's top ballcarriers in Steele. UCLA has risen its level of play in recent years under Kelly's watch and the same is expected in 2023 despite sizable personnel and production losses. Schlee is one of three players

While they may not top the charts in this aspect, there's still plenty of potential for success.

Among the notable transfers are quarterback from Kent State Collin Scheel and running back Carson Steele arriving from Ball State. These two players are expected to make a significant impact for the Bruins and could potentially fill crucial roles within the team. 

This is particularly important because UCLA is comprised of a young and inexperienced squad. As they navigate the upcoming season, the Bruins will rely on the contributions of these transfers to help them achieve greatness on the field.

It's essential for UCLA to make the most of this season before venturing into new beginnings next year. With a combination of fresh faces, talented transfers, and their existing players, the Bruins have the potential to make a mark in college football.

As the season unfolds, fans will eagerly watch as UCLA strives to make this a memorable and successful campaign.
