## Resource

UCLAs new defensive lineman, Sahir West, a transfer from James Madison, has been named to the Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List. Despite not playing a game for the Bruins yet, his impressive freshman season at James Madison, where he earned Freshman All-American honors and Freshman of the Year in his conference, has caught the attention of the football world. West, who follows his old coach to UCLA, is a serious pass-rushing threat, joining a list of forty-two players considered for the prestigious award. His ranking has improved from three to four stars, making him the seventy-seventh best transfer overall and the ninth best edge rusher. Standing at six foot four and weighing two hundred seventy pounds, West has the potential to be a game-changer for UCLA and the NFL.
