UCLA Transfer Punter Chase Barry Commits to Oklahoma State
He’s the third former Bruin to transfer to OSU.
The Cowboys picked up a second portal specialist this weekend and a third former Bruin making the trip from Los Angeles to Stillwater.
Punter Chase Barry announced that he is transferring to Oklahoma State. Listed at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, Barry spent the past three seasons with the Bruins, where he punted three times for 118 yards (39.3 yards per punt).

Barry graduated from UCLA in just three years. He was on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll seven times.
He played in all 12 of the Bruins’ games this past season, primarily serving as UCLA’s holder. He punted twice in UCLA’s season-opener in Hawaii back in August. One of those punts went 62 yards.
He didn’t play in 2023 but made one punt as a true freshman in 2022, a 39-yarder against Alabama State.
Upon his entry into the portal, Barry initially committed to Cincinnati before ending up at OSU.
Kohl’s, a group that evaluates specialists, listed Barry as the No. 17 punter in the 2022 class. Here is what they said of him:
“In May of 2021 Barry attended a Kohl’s Showcase Camp. It was his first Kohl’s ranking event. He scored 107 points during the punt phase of camp. His drill work was also excellent. Barry followed up his May event with a strong showing in July at Kohl’s National Scholarship Camp. Barry has a great frame and a lot of upside as a punter. His leg strength showed up on many punts over the last four months. Barry has graded out as a top 15 punter and shows impressive talent and potential to play in college!” [Kohl’s]
He joins Idaho State transfer kicker Gabe Panikowski as specialists the Pokes have picked from the portal this offseason. OSU had only one punter on the roster in Wes Pahl after Aussie Hudson Kaak transferred to Ole Miss this offseason.
Barry is the third transfer the Cowboys have gotten from UCLA, joining defensive back Jaylin Davies and defensive lineman Sitiveni Havili-Kaufusi.
