UCLA transfer offensive lineman Walker Andersen is taking his talents to the Big 12 Conference. The former Bruins protector has committed to Colorado via the NCAA transfer portal, he announced.

During his freshman season in 2024, Andersen did not see the field. The 6-5, 290-pound offensive lineman will be hoping that changes when he heads to Boulder for a new campaign.

Andersen’s addition marks Colorado’s 27th addition via the transfer portal. They’re No. 23 in On3’s Team Transfer Portal Rankings, which utilizes the On3 (P)erformance score to measure a team’s production during the transfer process, compared relative against its roster and not a comparison against other schools.

Walker Andersen will join former Maryland offensive tackle Andre Roye at Colorado. This comes after Roye, a spring transfer and one of the top-available offensive tackles in the portal, took a visit to Boulder. Now, he has since given his commitment to the Buffaloes.

Roye spent the past three seasons with the Terrapins. He has appeared in 16 games in total while in college, with a redshirt after appearing in three during his first year, including seven starts at left tackle last fall while in College Park.

A native of District Heights, Maryland, Roye played his high school football at St. Frances Academy in Baltimore. He was a Top-650 overall recruit there as a three-star in the 2022 cycle. He rated as a Top-50 offensive tackle in the class and just outside the Top-10 players from the state of Maryland at No. 11.

That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’d then go on to commit to the Terps over other top programs like Penn State, USC, Arizona State, and NC State.
