UCLA an option for Louisville transfer Peny Boone

The Bruins are in on this talented RB transfer.

The UCLA Bruins football program suffered a tough blow by losing defensive star Jay Toia. But, DeShaun Foster is working hard at other positions of need, including running back.

The Bruins have now reached out to Louisville transfer Peny Boone, and he has heard from a lot of other schools.

Here are a list of the schools Boone has heard from, per Marshall Levenson of Rivals: Ole Miss, Washington, Tennessee, Miami, Oklahoma State, UCLA, Nebraska, UNC, Colorado, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, Western Kentucky, Virginia Tech, Utah, Michigan State, Oregon State, Arizona, Kentucky, USF, and UCF.

Boone was the MAC Offensive Player of the Year at Toledo and ran for 1,400 yards and 15 scores. he then landed at Louisville initially in the portal before deciding to enter again in a bit of a surprising turn of events. Boone also was at Maryland previously.

Boone is slated to take a visit to Ole Miss and Washington already, but UClA showing interest in him shows their desire to add a running back. The Bruins also expressed interest in Ohio State RB transfer Dallan Hayden.

Wisconsin football in pursuit of an accomplished transfer portal running back

The 6’1″ running back was the 2023 MAC Offensive Player of the Year at Toledo after rushing for 1400 yards and 15 touchdowns on 7.2 yards per carry.

Wisconsin is on a list of schools to have reportedly reached out to Boone that also includes Ole Miss, Washington, Tennessee, Miami, Nebraska, Utah and Michigan State.

This interest is a bit of a surprise. Wisconsin is loaded at running back after adding Oklahoma transfer Tawee Walker during the winter window. He and veteran Chez Mellusi are set to lead the backfield, with not many additional carries available.

Preliminary interest doesn’t mean Wisconsin will go on to land the transfer — and become his fourth school in four years. It’s worth monitoring, however, if any visits get reported.
