Former Cal Golden Bears linebacker Oluwafemi Oladejo announced his commitment to UCLA on Monday just hours after hitting the NCAA transfer portal. Oladejo, from Elk Grove, California, opted to stay close to home with a commitment to another home state program.

For the Golden Bears this season, the 6-foot-3, 255-pound sophomore had 91 tackles, including a sack, with 4.5 tackles for loss. He also scooped up a fumble versus Notre Dame early in the year and forced another versus Stanford. Versus Oregon, Oladejo intercepted a pass with a return of 26 yards.

He has three years of eligibility remaining to play two seasons for the Bruins. It is his first transfer so he will be immediately eligible to play in 2023.

As a freshman, the linebacker played in nine games, including his first career start against Oregon State. He notched 36 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and two quarterback hurries.

Coming out of Consumnes Oaks High, Oladejo was a three-star prospect, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Track transfer portal activity

While the NCAA transfer portal database is private, the On3 Network has streamlined the reporting process tracking player movement.

If you find yourself asking, ‘How can I track transfer portal activity?’ our well-established network of reporters and contacts across college athletics keeps you up to speed in several ways, from articles written about players as they enter and exit the transfer portal or find their new destination, to our social media channels, to our Transfer Portal Wire.

The transfer portal wire provides a real-time feed of player activity, including basic player profile information, transfer portal ranking and original On3 Consensus recruiting ranking, as well as NIL valuation (name, image and likeness).

The On3 Transfer Portal Instagram account and senior national college football reporter Matt Zenitz’s Twitter account are excellent resources to stay up to date with the latest moves.
