Even before playing a single snap of college football, a pair of recent UCLA commits have entered the transfer portal.
Former Warren High School class of 2025 teammates, quarterback Madden Iamaleava, and wide receiver Jace Brown are on the move to Long Beach Poly, according to John W. Davis of the Press-Telegram (subscription required). The move comes after the two future UCLA Bruins did not play in Warren’s Week 1 opener and turning some heads in the high school football community.
Since becoming starters, Iamaleava and Brown have been attached at the hip, being a dynamic passing-game threat throughout their time at Warren. Now with the Long Beach Poly Jackrabbits, the pair of four-star future Bruins look to continue their success on the field for a different program.
With both Iamaleava and Brown already committed to UCLA, their decision to transfer likely makes little to no impact on their future. But what is clear is that the two have a bond that will carry over to Westwood when they take the field in 2025 for the Bruins.
