UCLA forward Devin Williams enters NCAA transfer portal

UCLA forward Devin Williams has entered the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. He enters after his second season with the Bruins.

Williams redshirted during the 2024-25 season to preserve a year of eligibility. He played sparingly as a true freshman during the 2023-24 campaign.

Devin Williams played in 10 games as a true freshman, averaging just 3.3 minutes per game. He scored 1.4 points while averaging 0.7 rebounds.

Now he’ll seek an opportunity where he’ll have more playing time. At 6 foot 10, 200 pounds, he should have some suitors, though he might have to drop down to a lower level.

During his lone season of action with the Bruins, Devin Williams had four games in which he neither scored nor pulled down a rebound. His high-water marks came early in his first campaign, before his minutes began to disappear.

Williams had six points and two rebounds in a contest against Long Island University, then had four points and one rebound in a game against rival USC. He didn’t have much of an impact beyond that.

Anquan Boldin’s son enters transfer portal

Devin Williams isn’t the only notable transfer portal entry in recent days. Buffalo Bulls sophomore guard Anquan Boldin Jr. has entered the Transfer Portal, On3 has learned. He is the son of long-time NFL star wide receiver Anquan Boldin.

Coming out of high school, Boldin Jr. was an unranked recruit in the Class of 2023. He attended IMG Academy in Delray Beach, Florida. There, he averaged 11 points, four rebounds, two assists, and one block in 27 games. Eventually, he would sign with Buffalo out of high school.

In two seasons with the Bulls, Boldin Jr. has become an important player for Buffalo. In 53 career games played, he has 49 starts and averaged 27 minutes per game over his first two college seasons. This past season, he was one of just two Bulls players to start every game for the team. For his career, he’s averaging 7.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. He’s also shooting 46.4 percent from the field, 28 percent from three-point range, and 66.4 percent from the free-throw line. On the defensive end, he has 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks per game.
