UCLA's Ironclad Long Snapper Returns for 2026
Salem Abdul-Wahab is UCLA's sole returning long snapper and a two-year starter (2024–2025) after transferring from Northern Colorado, making him the team's most reliable specialist in the kicking game. Though no stats exist for LS, his 6'1", 250-lb frame and 85 STR rating [10] reflect elite physical intensity and consistency under pressure. He briefly entered the Transfer Portal in 2025 [3] but opted to return [2], signaling strong loyalty and team fit. With no injury history reported [6], his calm demeanor and high-pressure reliability make him a perfect fit for any team needing a steady, battle-tested long snapper.
