Former Ball State Cardinal RB Carson Steele announces transfer to UCLA

Carson Steele, one of the most productive running backs in the country in 2022, has announced his new home after entering the transfer portal earlier this offseason, committing to the UCLA Bruins of the PAC-12 Conference via Twitter on Wednesday morning.

The Greenwood, Indiana native, who was the state’s high school Mr. Football in 2020, excelled in two full seasons at Ball State, with 2,447 yards and 20 touchdowns on the ground over 481 carries.

His six-foot-one, 215 lb. frame makes Steele an attractive option for a power back in a Power Five offense, as his size and speed made him a hard matchup in the MAC.
