UCLA has locked up its first transfer addition of the fall/winter with Penn defensive end Jake Heimlicher announcing his commitment to the Bruins tonight. Transfers tend to come together quickly and it has only been eight days since Heimlicher announced his plan to enter the transfer portal after a successful senior season at Penn. Because the Ivy League caps how many years its athletes can play, the Colorado native entered the portal and the Bruins offered two days later. Now he's officially joining the program and is a talented veteran player for the team heading into next season. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound defensive end led the Ivy League in sacks this season (9) and finished the year with 47 tackles and 13 tackles for loss. He's got 25 1/2 tackles for loss and 16 1/2 sacks the last two seasons. He is also a finalist for the FCS Defensive Player of the Year award.
