2026 IOL Cooper Javorsky decommits from UCLA

San Juan Capistrano (Calif.) San Juan Hills three-star interior offensive lineman Cooper Javorsky has decommitted from UCLA, he tells Rivals’ Adam Gorney.

He was pledged to the Bruins since June 12 but is now back on the board following the firing of head coach DeShaun Foster on Sunday afternoon. Javorsky is the seventh decommitment of the day for the Big Ten program.

“Unfortunately with how uncertain things are, I am not able to take a risk on who is going to still be there,” Javorsky told Gorney. “A major reason I committed was because of coach (Andy) Kwon and the idea he may not be there really worries me. I love the program and I will continue to hope for their success but unfortunately after talking with my parents, we feel it is right to open back up my recruiting.”

The 6-foot-4, 295-pounder is the No. 691 overall prospect and No. 65 IOL in the 2026 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 54 player in California.

UCLA’s 2026 class is now down to 16 commits after beginning the day with 22. It opened the day at No. 23 nationally in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings but is now outside the top 40.

Javorksy’s decision follows four-star offensive tackle Johnnie Jones, three-star defensive lineman Anthony Jones, three-star EDGE Yahya Gaad, three-star DL David Schwerzel and three-star linebacker Ramzak Fruean. UCLA’s 2027 class also lost a commitment from three-star wide receiver Demaje Riley.
