Tenley Hill is a two-way force at UCLA: a wide receiver with the hands to make any catch and a middle linebacker who anchors the defense. She didn't just show up and play. She built the program from nothing.
In 2025, recognizing that flag football had no collegiate home at UCLA, Tenley founded the club from scratch. She secured field time, assembled a roster, and stepped into leadership roles on both sides of the ball. The first game in program history? A 7-0 shutout of rival USC.
Before UCLA, Tenley was a four-sport varsity athlete at San Clemente High School, earning Team MVP, 1st Team Sea View League, and All-CIF honors in 2024 across Flag Football, Basketball, Stunt, and Cheer. She brings that same standard to the classroom as a Communications major at UCLA.

Arrived at UCLA and built the program from scratch. She secured field time, assembled a roster, and created the club from nothing. First game in program history: UCLA 7 · USC 0, a shutout.
Tenley is a true dual threat, starting on both sides of the ball as the team's go-to wide receiver and the anchor at middle linebacker. Led the team across 16 games, finishing 11–5 with a 9-game winning streak to close the season. Competed vs. SDSU, Saddleback, USC, and others. Earned a 91 overall RAC rating and 94 on defense. Something is building in Westwood.

Flag football is set to debut at the 2028 LA Olympics. Tenley isn't just watching it happen. She founded UCLA's program in 2025, earned back-to-back invites to the USA Football Select Bowl, and is already competing on the national stage.
Watch Tenley work: catches, defensive stops, and the moments that define her game.
Reading routes, jumping throws, and making the defense look like an offense.
Tenley Hill is building flag football's future at UCLA, and she's doing it with the kind of discipline, charisma, and visibility that makes brands take notice. With a growing audience across social media and a program on a historic trajectory, now is the time to partner.
Flag football debuts at the 2028 LA Olympics. The athletes who built the sport at the collegiate level will be its most recognizable faces. Get here early.
Freshman year, Tenley was a UCLA cheerleader. Now she's the flag football captain who built the program from scratch. Not many people see that coming, and that's exactly the point.
For brands, it means access to both sides of game day in a single partnership.
"That touchdown feeling is one of the greatest feelings that I've ever had — I play defense a lot and a pick six is probably one of my top-five feelings ever, so I just knew that I didn't want to give that up."
"I just want to be able to grow the opportunity for girls like me that want to be able to play the sport but also want to be able to have the opportunities, network and academics that UCLA has to offer."
"For too long, girls with talent and drive simply ran out of places to play. Flag football changes that."
"NIL is a necessary correction that allows athletes to capitalize on the value they bring to their schools. But its lack of proper regulation is pushing collegiate sports toward a system defined by money-driven recruiting rather than by culture and player development."
