The UCLA Bruins’ 2026 recruiting class just got a major boost — in more ways than one.
On Sunday evening, Camden Jensen, a towering 6-foot-7, 250-pound tight end from Heritage High School in Littleton, Colorado, announced his commitment to UCLA, choosing the Bruins over Florida, Nebraska, and Missouri. Jensen is rated the No. 410 overall prospect and No. 18 tight end in the 2026 cycle by the On3 Industry Ranking, which aggregates evaluations from all four major recruiting services. He’s also ranked the No. 2 recruit in Colorado by 247Sports.

Jensen made his decision following an official visit to Westwood, canceling remaining visits to other top programs. “First of all I want to thank God, my family, and coaches who have helped me get where I am,” he wrote in his announcement. “I want to thank Coach [Jerry] Neuheisel and Coach [DeShaun] Foster for giving me the opportunity to be a UCLA Bruin.”
Jensen praised Neuheisel’s consistent efforts, saying earlier this year: “Coach Neuheisel reaches out to my parents all the time and he tells them, ‘We really need to get him up here. He needs to check this place out.’ That draws my attention.”
With Jensen in the fold, UCLA now has eight commits in its 2026 class, which has climbed to No. 23 nationally and No. 8 in the Big Ten, per On3’s Industry Team Rankings — leaping ahead of schools like Michigan and Wisconsin.
Jensen joins a group headlined by twin receivers Jaron and Kennan Pula (from Timpview, Utah), along with wideouts Kenneth Moore and Jonah Smith, linebacker Matthew Muasau, and defensive linemen Anthony “Poppa” Jones and Yahya Gaad, a former SMU commit.
In just one week, UCLA has doubled its 2026 commits — a clear sign that Coach Foster and his staff are building serious momentum on the recruiting trail.
