Camden Jensen, a four-star tight end from Littleton, Colorado, has announced his commitment to UCLA. The 2026 prospect chose the Bruins after a recent official visit to Los Angeles, turning down offers from Florida, Nebraska, and Missouri, among others.
Ranked No. 410 nationally and No. 18 among tight ends in the 2026 class by On3, Jensen also stands as the No. 3 overall recruit in Colorado. His pledge marks UCLA’s eighth commitment in the 2026 cycle. Jensen had additional official visits scheduled with Missouri, Nebraska, and Florida, but made his decision following his trip to UCLA.
Camden Jensen Shocks Recruiting World With Early Commitment
The 6-foot-7, 250-pound standout from Littleton, Colorado, announced his pledge over the weekend, choosing the Bruins over other finalists Florida, Nebraska and Missouri.
“First of all, I want to thank god, my family, and coaches who have helped me get where I am,” Jensen wrote. “I want to thank Coach [Jerry] Neuheisel and Coach [DeShaun] Foster for giving me the opportunity to be a UCLA Bruin. Without them none of this would be possible.”

Jensen also expressed gratitude toward the many coaches who invested time in his recruitment.
“I want to thank all the coaches that took there [sic] valued time to recruit me and believe in me not as just a player but a person,” Jensen said. “Throughout my entire process that started after my 8th grade season and early into my freshman year it has been a long and hard journey.”
“I’m so very thankful for the position I’m in today, with that being said I will be committing to the UCLA of California Los Angeles. GO BRUINS!!!!”
Although Jensen had official visits scheduled next month with Missouri, Nebraska and Florida, he opted to shut down his recruitment early after connecting with the Bruins’ staff during his trip. Tight ends coach Jerry Neuheisel played a major role in securing the commitment.
“I really like coach Jerry Neuheisel. He’s done a good job. He recruits me well,” Jensen told On3 in January. “He came out to see me in the spring and watched me work out. We talked for a while… He tells my parents, ‘We really need to get him up here.’ That draws my attention.”
