Former Arkansas offensive tackle Ty’kieast Crawford will visit UCLA the weekend of Jan. 4, Darren Wilson and Chase Moss tell On3’s Pete Nakos and I.

The 6-foot-5, 324-pound Crawford is tabbed by the On3 Industry as the nation’s No. 29 offensive tackle.

Crawford began his college career at Charlotte.

A Class of 2020 signee, Crawford will have one year of eligibility remaining. He was a four-star recruit as a high school prospect.

Crawford spent the 2020 season at Charlotte before transferring and playing at Arkansas from 2021-24.

With the 49ers, Crawford played in six games and made three starts. That season didn’t count toward his eligibility as it was during the Covid-19 pandemic.

During his first three seasons at Arkansas, Crawford played in 32 games, mostly as a special teamer and reserve lineman. He made four starts on the offensive line during the 2023 season.

He played in just one game in 2024.
