Kechaun Bennett signs with UCLA after Michigan transfer

Michigan defensive lineman Kechaun Bennett has transferred to UCLA, where he will play his final year of eligibility after spending four seasons with the Wolverines and contributing mainly on special teams. Bennett, a former four-star recruit, saw limited playing time at Michigan but brings experience to a UCLA team undergoing major roster changes after a disappointing 2024 season. UCLA, now in the Big Ten, has added 25 transfers this cycle and hopes to improve its performance under new head coach DeShaun Foster, with Bennett joining a transfer class that includes several high-profile recruits. Bennett played 24 games over the past two years in Ann Arbor, finishing his Michigan career with seven tackles, one quarterback hurry, and one blocked kick.
