Arkansas transfer OL Ty'kieast Crawford commits to UCLA

Former Arkansas offensive lineman Ty’Kieast Crawford will transfer to play for UCLA in 2025. He spent the past four seasons with the Razorbacks and has one more year of eligibility remaining.

Crawford appeared in 33 total games with six starts during his time in Fayetteville. However, he only played one game this past season.

As a recruit, Crawford was a four-star prospect out of Carthage (TX) High School in 2020. He ranked as the No. 244 overall player and No. 26 offensive tackle in the cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Crawford originally committed to play for Charlotte out of high school but spent only one season with the 49ers. He played in six games and made two starts as a true freshman.

UCLA ranked 114th in the country with 2.8 sacks allowed per game last year so could use all the help it can get on the offensive line. Crawford ranks as the No. 28 offensive tackle according to On3’s Transfer Portal Rankings and should be a welcome addition in helping that effort.

Crawford is the 18th overall player and the fourth offensive lineman the Bruins have added this offseason. They’ve also lost 22 players to the portal and rank No. 10 according to On3’s Transfer Portal Team Rankings.

Appalachian State transfer QB Joey Aguilar commits to UCLA

Appalachian State transfer quarterback Joey Aguilar committed to UCLA, he announced on Saturday. He entered the transfer portal Dec. 24 after two impressive seasons with the Mountaineers.

Aguilar threw for more than 3,000 yards in both years at Appalachian State, and his 3,003 yards ranked as the highest total in the Sun Belt. That came after an impressive 2023 campaign in which he threw for 3,757 yards and 23 touchdowns in 14 games as the Mountaineers finished 9-5 and played in the Sun Belt Championship.

Before arriving at Appalachian State, Aguilar played two years at the JUCO level at Diablo Valley College. His decision to enter the portal came after the NCAA granted a waiver to former JUCO players with eligibility remaining in 2025, and that opened the door for him to play one more season.
