The UCLA Bruins have seen some major changes to their roster since the end of their first season in the Big Ten. But this week, UCLA added a new face through the transfer portal.
University of Louisville safety Benjamin Perry announced his transfer to UCLA earlier this week, according to Allen Trieu of 247Sports.
Perry, a rising senior defensive back, played a hybrid role for the Cardinals throughout his career in Louisville. Able to play multiple positions in the secondary, the Bruins add a versatile piece to their defense with some serious experience under his belt.
In his previous four seasons with Louisville, Perry accounted for 132 tackles, eight passes defended, two sacks, and a forced fumble in the ACC.
Perry joins a UCLA program in dire need of help in the secondary after a lackluster performance in pass defense. But with the addition of Perry, coupled with the hiring of new secondary coach Demetrice Martin, the Bruins secondary should see improvement in 2025.
