There is some life to the UCLA football team after their Big Ten win over Rutgers on September 19th, and the Bruins are looking to capitalize.
The Bruins have extended an offer to Immanuel Iheanacho, a 6′ 7″ and 340-pound offense tackle from Baltimore, Maryland. The third-ranked recruit in the 2026 class, Iheanacho is a five-star recruit with a boatload of offers, according to Hayes Fawecett of On3. Fielding offers from Texas, Georgia, Oregon, USC, Ohio State, and Alabama, among others, Iheanacho has many programs excited about his potential.
UCLA’s glaring need at offensive line makes it a no-brainer to pursue the best tackle in the 2026 recruiting class. Though the Bruins lack the pedigree of their competitors, UCLA remains an attractive destination for prospective recruits.
As head coach DeShaun Foster continues to build the UCLA program, he will need to produce on and off the field for recruits. Not only does Foster need to rack up wins in the Big Ten to land a player of Iheanacho’s caliber, but Foster and the athletic administration must do whatever it takes to produce commitments on signing day in their recruiting fight.
