Georgetown, Texas – Georgetown High School wide receiver Xavier Warren has officially committed to UCLA for the 2026 recruiting class, choosing the Bruins over offers from Oklahoma State and Arkansas. Warren is a three-star recruit, ranked as the 91st wide receiver in the United States and the 78th player in Texas, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.
Known for his incredible speed, Warren has earned recognition as one of the fastest athletes in Central Texas. He clocked a remarkable 10.32-second 100-yard dash during his sophomore year and reportedly runs a sub-4.40 second 40-yard dash, showcasing his explosive athleticism. This speed on the field has significantly impacted his game play, as defenders have often struggled to tackle him, leading to numerous big plays and scoring opportunities.
During the 2024 football season, Warren put together an impressive stat line, catching 46 passes for 876 yards and scoring nine touchdowns. Additionally, he contributed in the running game, taking seven rush attempts for 53 yards and four rushing touchdowns. His versatility makes him a dual-threat player and an exciting prospect for UCLA’s offensive scheme.
The commitment of Warren bolsters UCLA’s 2026 recruiting class, which now has a total of 22 players and is currently ranked 11th among all college football programs in the nation. Alongside Warren, the Bruins are also welcoming running back Jett Walker, who is a 2026 commit from West Virginia. Walker had an extraordinary junior season, amassing 2,317 rushing yards and scoring 37 touchdowns, making him another dynamic asset for UCLA.
Georgetown High School’s football team, known as the Eagles, had a successful season last year, finishing with a record of 10-2 and winning their district. However, their playoff journey ended in the second round of the UIL playoffs after a tight loss to Frisco Reedy, with a final score of 49-45.
UCLA has experienced a robust recruiting month in June, having secured 14 commitments, and Warren’s addition is viewed as another positive step towards enhancing the program’s talent pool. His decision to join UCLA follows an extensive recruitment process, which included official visits to several schools, including Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Michigan State, and UCLA. Michigan State was viewed as a particularly strong competitor in the race for his commitment.
In addition to Warren, the Bruins’ 2026 recruiting class already features several other talented wide receivers. Some of them include Santana Carlos, Xavier Stinson, Jonah Smith, Kenneth Moore III, and twins Jaron and Kennan Pula. The growing depth and diversity in the wide receiver position signify UCLA’s strategic planning to strengthen their roster as they look to the future.
Xavier Warren’s performance and rapid development at Georgetown High School will be closely monitored as he prepares for his senior year. With his proven track record of success, he is expected to make significant contributions to his team and, ultimately, to UCLA’s football program in the coming years.
