UCLA adds Harry Lodge, a 6-6, 240-pound transfer tight end, for one year of eligibility.
Lodge previously played at Wake Forest and Georgia Tech before a brief 2025 return to Wake Forest.
Lodge joins UCLA’s growing transfer class, now at 50 commits and ranked No. 11 overall.
UCLA plans to use 12 personnel and a pro-style rushing attack, where Lodge could fit as a blocker with upside as a receiver.
Lodge is the fourth tight end UCLA added through the portal, increasing competition at the position.
The Bruins hope veteran transfers provide leadership as younger players develop.
Harry Lodge was a multi-sport athlete from Massachusetts and a three-star recruit.
Coach Bob Chesney’s offense emphasizes two tight ends on the field, aligning with Lodge’s role.
Lodge’s addition comes as UCLA continues to bolster a position of need at tight end after departures.
The transfer news was reported by SI writer Travis Tyler in January 2026.
