KK Bransford is a 5'11" college basketball guard from Cincinnati, Ohio, who recently transferred to UCLA after four seasons at Notre Dame. A 2022 McDonald's All-American and Naismith High School All-American, she was ranked the 29th overall player and No. 7 guard nationally in her recruiting class. At Notre Dame, she played virtually every position except center, part of teams that made deep NCAA tournament runs, though her career was slowed by injuries, including a season lost to a lower-body injury and a knee injury that limited her senior year. In April 2026, she announced her move to UCLA, joining head coach Cori Close's roster as the fifth transfer addition following the Bruins' national championship season, where she's expected to provide veteran depth and leadership in her final year of eligibility.
