UCLA football head coach DeShaun Foster on when Michigan State transfer might join the Bruins in practice.
UCLA football transfer running back Jalen Berger has yet to begin practicing with the team in fall camp. Berger, who transferred to UCLA in July, has joined the team but is still getting back in football shape.
on when Berger might return. “I don’t really want to put dates on him because … he’s doing a great job. He’s strong and I just want to see him just get really back to it … I don’t want him to get in shape with practice. I truly want him to be ‘back.’” Things went downhill for Berger though in his sophomore season. Berger reportedly did not react well to Wisconsin adding transfer Chez Mellusi, and was missing meetings and workouts with the team. He saw just 24 carries for 88 yards in 2021, and was dismissed from the team in the middle of the season.
At UCLA, Berger will begin the season at least behind T.J. Harden, who will be the team's starting running back. Harden is coming off a strong 2022 campaign in which he earned 153 carries for 827 yards and eight touchdowns while averaging 5.3 yards per carry. Harden achieved this while splitting carries with former Bruin running back Carson Steele, who is now with the Kansas City Chiefs.
