UCLA linebacker Isaiah Chisom has signed with Oklahoma State out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. Chisom spent the last year with the Bruins.

Before he landed at UCLA via the transfer portal, Chisom spent two years at Oregon State. He emerged as a full-time starter at both stops.

In 2025 with the Bruins, Isaiah Chisom racked up some impressive statistics. He finished the season with 84 tackles, 2.5 tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles, a pass breakup and a quarterback hurry.

It took a little bit for Chisom’s college career to get going, but once it took off, it did so in a hurry. He played in five games as a freshman at Oregon State in 2023, making one start. During that time, he tallied 14 tackles and 4.0 tackles for a loss.

A year later, Chisom turned into a star for the Beavers. He played in 12 games and made 11 starts, racking up 75 stops, 5.0 tackles for a loss, two quarterback hurries, a pass breakup and a forced fumble. After the season, he headed to UCLA.

Prior to enrolling at Oregon State, Chisom was ranked as a three-star prospect and the No. 1,318 overall recruit in the 2023 class, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings. He was also ranked as the No. 131 linebacker in the class and the No. 124 overall player in the state of California, hailing from Los Angeles (CA) Chaminade.

On3 will have more on this developing story shortly.
