UCLA's Karson Gordon enters transfer portal as a track athlete, dodging football restrictions‎

UCLA's Karson Gordon entered the NCAA transfer portal as a track and field athlete with plans to play football, he confirmed on social media Friday. Gordon's transfer announcement comes seven months after the NCAA's decision to eliminate the spring football portal window, opting instead for a 15-day period in January in an effort to corral offseason chaos and give programs a clearer picture of their fall roster. Track and field athletes have two windows, one at the end of the fall and another 30-day period that begins the day after selections for Division I track and field championships are announced.
