“MIZ! Let’s work!” he said in a commitment post shared with On3’s Hayes Fawcett and his followers on X.
Listed by 247Sports at 6’6″ 230lbs, Jensen hails from Millard South High School just outside of Omaha, Nebraska, and he is no stranger to winning. During his first three seasons with the Patriots, Jensen has helped Millard South to a 28-8 record and the 2024 Nebraska Class A Football State Championship.
Jensen is the second recruit from the group of prospects that visited Columbia last weekend to choose Mizzou, with Florida-based four-star wide receiver Jabari Brady announcing his commitment to the program on June 7th while still being on campus.

Even though Jensen has committed, that doesn’t mean that the Tigers are done recruiting the tight end position.

Michael Swain of 247Sports reported last month that Mizzou is expected to take two tight ends in the 2026 high school class. This is no surprise, as the Tigers have a tight end room that tapers off once you get past junior starter Brett Norfleet, with no clear number two.
The next uncommitted tight end set to venture to Columbia for an official visit is Kansas City product Kevin Sullivan on June 20th. Sullivan is set to visit with the Tigers last, after taking official visits to Kansas, Iowa State and Vanderbilt. It remains to be seen how Jensen’s commitment will impact Missouri’s pursuit of Sullivan, but his recruitment will be another one to watch for Mizzou fans.
Monday’s news brings the Tigers’ 2026 high school class to four, with Jensen joining the aforementioned Jabari Brady along with four-star linebacker Keenan Harris and four-star quarterback Gavin Sidwar.
