She proved to be an invaluable asset for Utah this past season. In the 2024–2025 season, her performance as a redshirt junior was impressive, averaging 19.3 points per game. She gained recognition for coming close to achieving a remarkable 50-40-90 shooting percentage.

Kneepkens, who joins the Bruins as a graduate transfer, came to Westwood during the spring transfer portal window. In early May, she decided to transfer to UCLA for her final year of eligibility.

Clarkson has officially joined UCLA, utilizing the NCAA transfer this spring. Hailing originally from Bellflower, CA, he is making his way back home to the West Coast.

Clarkson's time at Ole Miss was short-lived. He made a commitment to Ole Miss in January 2025 after departing from Louisville, but by April 2025, he decided to re-enter the transfer portal.

He played with the Louisville Cardinals for his first two years, in the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Despite his limited appearances and minimal statistical contribution, he looks to contribute for UCLA in the future.

Will Karoll, a punter who has recently made the move to UCLA, is likely to be the Bruins' starting punter for the 2025 season. At 6 feet 4 inches, he is originally from Sydney, Australia.

Prior to joining UCLA in May, Karoll showcased his football talents at Tulane University. During the initial two seasons with the Green Wave, he showcased remarkable and reliable punting skills, maintaining an impressive average of 43.4 yards per punt throughout his collegiate career. He also had 24 punts of 50 yards or more, along with 23 that landed within the 20-yard line. This feat showcases impressive leg strength and positioning and is likely to help improve UCLA's special teams heading into the 2025 season.
