UCLA WR Devin Lucien to transfer

UCLA's Devin Lucien will play at a different school in 2015.

The Bruins' third-leading receiver in terms of receptions in 2014 has decided to transfer according to the Los Angeles Times. He could graduate in the summer and be immediately eligible at his new school.

Per BruinSportsReport.com, Lucien said "a lot" went into his decision to make the move out of UCLA though he didn't get into specifics. In 2014, he had 29 catches for 225 yards and two touchdowns.

While losing a receiver with over 20 catches is rarely considered a positive, UCLA is well-equipped to handle his departure. While Lucien was third on the team in catches, he was sixth in yards. All five of the players ahead of him in the yardage column are returning for 2015.

Lucien's most productive season was his redshirt junior year. After redshirting in 2011, he had 29 catches combined in 2012 and 2013. According to BruinSportsReport, Arizona State is a candidate to be his transfer destination. If he moves to the Sun Devils, he could be the second high-profile player to transfer in-conference if Iowa quarterback Jake Rudock moves to Michigan. The Wolverines have been considered a strong candidate for Rudock's services as he's a graduate transfer.
