The floodgates continue to remain open for additions to the 2026 UCLA recruiting class.

Rancho Santa Margarita (Calif.) Santa Margarita Catholic three-star safety Logan Hirou was the latest Tuesday to formally announce his commitment to the Bruins, who he informed of the decision before leaving his official visit in Westwood this past weekend.

That brings UCLA to 14 total commitments, with six coming since Saturday.

“I saw a lot of good things,” Hirou told Bruin Blitz after a mid-April unofficial visit during spring camp. “I saw a lot of stuff that I play at my high school, which is good, and I think will translate if I come here to UCLA.

“The players look like they have a great culture here.”

Hirou is a teammate of fellow 2026 UCLA commit and four-star receiver Jonah Smith, who was the very first commit of the class last spring.

All three commitments in the secondary from position coach Demetrice Martin were produced over the weekend, including Rancho Cucamonga teammates Joshua Mensah and Justin Lewis — who flipped from a North Carolina pledge.

“I think they see me as a great person that can talk and communicate on defense, and I play hard and hit hard,” Hirou said.

“I think (Martin’s) a great overall person, great human being. I mean, we’ve been talking a lot, he’s been a good guy to talk to and I learn a lot from him.”
