Vanderbilt’s Graham reportedly transferring to UCLA

Jeff Lockridge of the Nashville Tennessean (Vanderbilt beat writer) wrote on Twitter earlier today that defensive back Jamie Graham is going to transfer to UCLA for grad school and to play for the Bruins.

Graham is a talented athlete but didn’t get much playing time for Vanderbilt last season, and he could provide an immediate boost to the return game. He has one season of eligibility remaining, and he’ll help soften the blow from the loss of Courtney Viney, which I thought was a big one. Between Aaron Hester, Sheldon Price, Andrew Abbott, Anthony Jefferson and now Graham, UCLA has some decent depth at the position, but it remains a recruiting priority for next year.
