EXCLUSIVE: Bruins Commit Joshua Mensah Talks Final Season

The UCLA Bruins have been looking to land the best of the best in many different classes, but it is safe to say that in their 2026 recruiting class, they have landed many of the guys who could qualify as the best prospect in their class with the film they produce. One of the players who is on the up-hill climb to become one of the better players in the class is Joshua Mensah.

Mensah is a two-way prospect who can play both ways, but his primary position is on the defensive side of the football. The Bruins target and commit is one of the better athletes from his high school, as he currently attends Rancho Cucamonga High School in the great state of California, which makes him one of many in-state commits that stand out for the Bruins in the 2026 recruiting class.

The Bruins commit has plenty of potential to see the field early, but first, he has some goals and a huge season that he is set out to accomplish. He caught up with UCLA Bruins on SI to detail his fourth and final high school football season.
