Amier Washington brings rotational pass-rush juice to UCLA’s 2026 front
Amier Washington enters the 2026 season as a useful, athletic depth piece on UCLA’s defensive line: at Texas Tech, he played in 26 games over three seasons and posted 21 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks, with his best recent season coming in 2025 when he logged 7 tackles, 1 TFL, and a QB hurry. He’s a 6-foot-2, 270-pound former three-star who can play with enough snap count to matter, and UCLA views him as a rotational defender rather than an instant star. Why care? He’s a low-drama, high-motor portal add with some edge-rush upside if the Bruins can unlock more consistent disruption.
