UCLA continued to bolster its offense through the transfer portal with the addition of running back Carson Steele who ranked 9th in the nation in rushing yards at Ball State.
Steele had 1,556 rushing yards and 14 touchdown this season. In his first two seasons at Ball State, he had 2,547 rushing yards and 20 touchdown. Steele was a first-team All-MAC selection and entered the transfer portal.
The Bruins will have to find a replacement for Charbonnet, who was a two-time All-American in two seasons at UCLA. The Bruins went to the Mid-American for a quarterback who had 2,109 passing yards.
Steele had nine games in which he had at least 100 rushing yards or more and four games in which he had at least one rushing touchdown.
