UCLA Adds Notre Dame Guard KK Bransford as Fifth Transfer

The move adds experience to UCLA's portal-driven roster reset.

Overview

  • UCLA landed Notre Dame guard KK Bransford on Tuesday, making her the fifth transfer addition alongside Elina Aarnisalo, Bonnie Deas, Donovyn Hunter and Addy Brown.
  • She arrives with one year of NCAA eligibility after redshirting the 2024–25 season for a lower-body injury.
  • In 2025–26 she averaged 7.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals and missed 12 games with a midseason knee injury.
  • The 5-foot-11 wing has played every position except center, giving UCLA a flexible, veteran option.
  • Notre Dame loses a trusted rotation player with championship experience as it reshapes its roster for next season.
