UCLA football coach DeShaun Foster is hoping to recruit talent via the NCAA transfer portal to bolster several position groups that are lacking depth.
Hey, all you defensive backs about to enter the transfer portal. Offensive and defensive linemen getting antsy for a new school, listen up. Any tight end who is about to become a free agent, pay attention too.
just might have a spot for you. Three days before the opening of the spring transfer portal window, Bruins coach DeShaun Foster identified his wish list in a bid to infuse talent and depth into a roster that could use a heavy helping of both. “I have six positions I want to address,” Foster said Saturday, “and then best available after that.
certainly could use help along the offensive line after giving up 42 sacks last season. Four of five starters will return, but the tackle spots remain shaky, a redshirt freshman is the projected starter at center, and there’s little veteran depth. The defensive line would welcome a proven edge rusher and interior depth. Quarterback also is thin after Collin Schlee's departure left only four players at the position.
brought in over the winter probably aren’t enough given massive turnover at that position. And the Bruins’ tight end depth may have taken a major hit Saturday when Hudson Habermehl suffered what appeared to be a serious left knee injury. The flip side is that also could lose talent in the portal that closes April 30, though Foster said he was not anticipating any more departures besides Schlee and edge rusher Choe Bryant-Strother. “It’s part of the game, so if it does happen then it is what it is,” Foster said. “But hopefully, you know, this team stays pretty intact and we’ll be able to make it through the portal.” Habermehl went down with only a few minutes left in practice, screaming in anguish as teammates dropped to a knee in a sign of respect.
