Big-framed UCLA DL with intriguing upside, but still an unproven commodity
In the 2024 season, Jordan Abarca was a true freshman defensive lineman at UCLA at 6-foot-4, 260 pounds, but he did not see game action and was later listed on UCLA’s injury report as out, which makes his current on-field value more projection than production. His appeal is the frame, baseline strength, and Big Ten-caliber size that could fit a physical front if he develops technical consistency and durability. In short: a developmental add, not a plug-and-play answer.
