Source-derived summary

Kache Palacio (born January 30, 1994) is an American mixed martial artist and a former football linebacker. He played college football at Washington State University and was signed by the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2016.

Early life

Palacio was born in Los Angeles, California, grew up in a split family home with his father Emile Palacio in south central Los Angeles and mother Latinya Parker in Watts, California. He played linebacker for Westchester High School and Junípero Serra High School, where he was a three star recruit and rated 79th at his position nationwide.

College career

In his time at Washington State, Palacio was able to rack up sacks, putting him 10th on the school's all-time list. He played in all 13 games for the Cougars in 2015, tallying 32 tackles, 10 for loss, with 5.0 sacks and two forced fumbles. In his WSU career, he recorded 26 TFLs, 17 sacks, and eight forced fumbles. Despite not being the most noticeable college prospect, he turned some heads at WSU's Pro Day, where he was asked to run drills as a fullback by teams such as the Indianapolis Colts, Seattle Seahawks, and Kansas City Chiefs

Professional career

Palacio was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, so his pre-draft measurables were taken from Washington State's Pro Day. NFL Network analyst Gil Brandt reported that Palacio had an "overall good workout" and would be "top priority" undrafted free agent in the NFL.

Los Angeles Rams

Palacio signed with the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent on May 4, 2016. He was released on May 18, 2016.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Kache Palacio” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Kache, Palacio and American provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q45854425. The first chronological checks are 1994, 2016 and 2015.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
