Their plan has always been to stay together. Jaron Pula and Keenan Pula are twins out of Provo (Utah) Timpview. Jaron is a 6-foot-1, 180-pound wide receiver and Keenan is a 6-foot-2, 170-pound wide receiver.

Over 20 schools have offered the 2026 playmakers, and after visiting UCLA for the Oregon game, they committed to DeShaun Foster and the Bruins.

“We just love the whole coaching staff and how much love and attention they’ve been showing us from the start,” Jaron told On3. “At UCLA, it just feels like home and we see our future there.”

They committed to UCLA over schools like Alabama, California, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington.

The twins have had their eye on UCLA for some time. Not only do they like their relationships with the staff and the school from the academic side, but the opportunity to play in Los Angeles and the opportunities with that factored into this decision.

They went through the recruiting process together. They evaluated schools their own way, and there talked about staying together, but they never knew how it would end up. After another visit to Westwood over the weekend, they found their spot and the Pula brothers are committed to the Bruins.

“It means a lot for us to stay together,” Kennan said. “We come in a package deal. My brother and I would talk about if we would stay together when we go to college. Jaron said yes and I said no. It looks like he was right.

“But when we announced together that we were committing to coach Foster, it was the best feeling.”

The Pula brothers join wide receiver Jonah Smith on UCLA’s 2026 commitment list.
