Washington Huskies

Camden Jensen was one of those visitors who slipped into Dempsey Indoor to watch University of Washington spring football practice and no one except the coaching staff knew who he was. 

He was huge, carrying a 6-foot-7 and 240-pound frame, but oh so young, just a ninth-grader from Heritage High School in Littleton, Colorado, south of Denver.

On March 10, a Friday, Jensen was introduced to the rest of the team once the workout ended, which is tradition for the Huskies when they bring a recruit into the house.

Later this prospect from the Rocky Mountain state joined in the UW tight-end meeting, encouraged to put his hand in with the rest of the Huskies to break the huddle.

End of story?

Not at all. It seems to be just beginning.

On Wednesday, DeBoer's recruiting staff made a football scholarship offer to Jensen, adding to a list that now includes Colorado, Colorado State and Iowa State. He's made unofficial visits to Michigan and Georgia.

He's athletic enough to play basketball and show himself to be a dunker.

Football-wise, Jensen, as a Heritage freshman for an 8-4 team, caught 6 passes for 76 yards. He completed a pass for 2 yards and ran the ball once for 4 yards.

Besides those various offensive skills, this big kid most of all is considered a promising power blocker who could be elite by the time his body is filled out and he's ready to play the college game.
