This offseason hasn't lacked any storylines for the UCLA Bruins.

They lost their former head coach, Chip Kelly, and former defensive coordinator, D'Anton Lynn. However, their replacements and other additions include DeShaun Foster as head coach, Ikaika Malloe as defensive coordinator, and Eric Bieniemy as the associate head coach and offensive coordinator.

The losses have been devastating, though—not only among the coaches but also among the players. Many of them hit the transfer portal, including ex-UCLA wide receiver Kyle Ford. Ford has yet to find a new school, but he may not be heading too far. According to Tim Prangley of Trojans Wire, Ford was seen at USC's practice this past week.

Speculation is circulating on whether Ford will return to where he started his collegiate career. Before transferring to UCLA last offseason, Ford spent his four years at USC, collecting 40 receptions on 637 yards, five touchdowns, and 15.9 yards per reception.

He entered the transfer portal last season and did it again this offseason. In his lone fall in Pasadena, Ford caught 22 passes for 236 yards and one touchdown. All signs point to Ford leaving Westwood for South LA. The spring portal will open on April 16th.
