This spring, the window opened on May 28 and will close on June 26.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very thankful for my time as a dual-sport athlete at UCLA,\u201d Gordon wrote on social media. \u201cI have made relationships here that will last me a lifetime. I am officially in the transfer portal as a dual sport QB\/ATH and Triple Jumper. I have not committed to a school yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gordon initially signed with UCLA as a three-star quarterback out of Missouri City, Texas. He\u2019s now listed as a receiver on the Bruins\u2019 roster. He has not yet seen game action at either position.<\/p>\n<p>The redshirt sophomore did not compete in the 2026 track season due to an injury. He competed in two indoor meets during his true freshman season and set a personal record in the triple jump.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP college football: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/college-football<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UCLA\u2019s Karson Gordon entered the NCAA transfer portal as a track and field athlete with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1833,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
