Dylan Lee brings bruising depth and untapped upside to UCLA’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Dylan Lee showed efficient burst in limited work at Iowa State, finishing with 117 rushing yards on 25 carries and a 4.7-yard average, including an 81-yard, 1-touchdown opener against South Dakota[5][8]. UCLA lists him as a 6-foot, 216-pound junior who transferred ahead of the 2026 campaign after 13 career games and two rushing touchdowns, and recruiting services pegged him as a former three-star with a No. 65 RB national ranking[1][11]. He looks like a physical, downhill fit: not flashy, but sturdy enough to wear down defenses and versatile enough to keep earning touches if he keeps maximizing his size and momentum.
