UCLA Football 2026 Top 30 Players: No. 27

UCLA Football 2026 Top 30 Players lists Amier Washington at No. 27, a redshirt junior defensive tackle who transferred from Texas Tech. Washington, a Texas-born three-star recruit (Rivals rank: 964th), began at Texas Tech with four tackles, two sacks, four TFLs, and one forced fumble as a freshman before redshirting after two games. In his redshirt sophomore year he played 11 games with five solo tackles, five assists, one tackle for a loss, and half a sack; his redshirt year saw limited production. UCLA recruited Washington to bolster a defensive line that struggled last season, when the Bruins registered the Big Ten’s worst 10 sacks and 40 TFLs, with Jalen Woods and Anthony Jones leading with 1.5 sacks each.
