2013 UCLA SPRING FOOTBALL DEFENSIVE TACKLE Senior SEALI'I EPENESA (6-1, 316) started 10 games in 2012 at the defensive tackle position and recorded 21 tackles. Redshirt sophomore BRANDONTULIAUPUPU (6-1,302) saw action in five games and registered three stops last season. Sophomore ELLIS McCARTHY (6-4, 330) appeared in nine games and was credited with 10 tackles and one sack.
OUTSIDE LINEBACKER The Bruins return three of the most productive linebackers in the nation in Anthony Barr, Jordan Zumwalt and Eric Kendricks and have some impressive depth at the position. True senior ANTHONY BARR (6-4, 245) led the nation in sacks for much of the 2012 season, after switching over from running back last spring, and proceeded to earn second-team Associated Press All-America honors. He finished second in the nation with 13.5 sacks and totaled 21.5 tackles for loss (fourth-most in school single-season history and tied for fifth in the nation in 2012). His total of 83 tackles ranked second on the team. True junior AARON WALLACE (6-2, 228) will be taking part in his third spring practice. He saw action in 10 games as a reserve linebacker and special teams performer in 2012 and totaled three tackles. Redshirt junior ARAMIDE OLANIYAN (6-1, 196) saw action primarily on special teams in 2012. Sophomore KENNY ORJIOKE (6-4, 229) appeared in five games in 2012, the bulk of the duty coming on special teams, and recorded two tackles. Redshirt freshman NATE IESE (6-3, 241) will look to impress the coaches in his first spring practice. True freshman JEREMY CASTRO (6-2, 243), who enrolled in January 2013, will take part in his initial spring practice.

Redshirt junior BRANDON WILLIS (6-1, 268) saw action as a reserve in six contests and recorded five tackles. Redshirt sophomore SAM TAI (6-2, 276), who enrolled at UCLA in January, 2011, will look to get back in action after missing the 2012 season due to injury. ELI ANKOU (6-3, 290) joined the program last season following the first game and worked on the scout team in practice.
INSIDE LINEBACKER True senior JORDAN ZUMWALT (6-4, 230) saw action in 13 games and made nine starts in 2012. He ranked fourth on the team in tackles (71) and has recorded 131 tackles, 14.0 for loss, over the last two seasons. Redshirt junior ERIC KENDRICKS (6-0, 228) started all 14 games last season and led the Pac-12 in tackles average (10.7 average). His total of 150 tackles was the third-most in school history and the most by a Bruin since Jerry Robinson registered 161 stops in 1978.
