Sources told Pete that the quarterback is going to transfer to UCLA.

The junior, who entered the transfer portal in December, threw for 2,109 yards and 13 touchdown while rushing for 492 yards and five touchdown. He had thrown only 36 passes over his first two seasons at Kent State, but this year he threw over 100 passes, which was a career high.

On the same day that Schlee entered the transfer portal, Kent State head coach Sean Lewis left to join the Colorado Buffaloes.

The Bruins have been in the market for a quarterback since the season ended. After five seasons and a career year, UCLA's long-time starting quarterback, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, will leave for the NFL draft, opening the door for Schlee to win the starting job.

The big shoes will be filled by Schlee.

Four-star quarterback Justyn Martin arrives as a freshman, as well as a sophomore who was Thompson-Robinson's backup last year.
