For most of his time at UCLA, Aaron Wallace was a backup. But injuries in the Bruin linebacking corps thrust Wallace into a starting role for eight of UCLA's thirteen games in 2015 and Wallace made the most of that opportunity.
He finished his senior season ranked 5th in the Pac-12 Conference with 7 sacks. He also made 65 tackles with 12.5 tackles for a loss. He earned a honorable mention All-Pac-12 Conference selection as a result of his performance.
Aaron hopes to follow in his dad's footsteps, even though he was only five when his dad's NFL career ended.

Aaron Wallace was not invited to attend the NFL Combine. As a result, all of his physical data is from UCLA Pro Day.
Strengths
He has the speed and quickness to be a good pass rusher. He uses his size to hold off blockers and he does a good job maintaining the outside contain and doesn't get beat around the outside.
Weaknesses
Aaron was only a one-year starter and has less experience than others as a result. He needs to continue developing his instincts because of his lack of experience as a starter.

Projection
Aaron Wallace is a project because of his inexperience as a starter. That may mean that Aaron could go undrafted. If he is selected it probably won't be until one of the late rounds.
Go Bruins!!!
