The running back who is a native of Camarillo and starred at Oaks Christian High in Westlake Village before spending two seasons at Michigan announced Saturday on Twitter that he is transferring to UCLA.
The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Charbonnet adds to the Bruins’ stockpile of quality running backs, giving them a proven complement to returning graduate transfer Brittain Brown and incoming freshman Deshun Murrell.
During his first college season, in 2019, Charbonnet ran for a team-high 726 yards and set a Wolverines freshman record with 11 rushing touchdowns. Last season, as Hassan Haskins emerged as Michigan’s top ballcarrier, Charbonnet ran for 124 yards in 19 carries.
