Jacob Busic brings veteran edge-rush juice to UCLA’s defensive front
In the 2024 season, Jacob Busic gave UCLA a disruptive, experienced edge presence: he appeared in all 12 games, made nine starts, and posted 18 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, and one sack, with those TFLs tied for third on the team and most among Bruin linemen[1][2]. At 6-foot-4 and 265 pounds, he’s more than a stat line—he’s a physical, special-teams-hardened transfer with 49 career games, 21 TFLs, 11 sacks, and a captain’s pedigree from Navy, making him a strong fit for a team that wants toughness, reliability, and edge-setting swagger[1][2][4].
