3*/4* 2022 DL Nate Burrell Commits to Cal Football
Coveted St. John Bosco DL joins Damonic as a SDE for the Golden Bears
 |
Looks like the first set of official visits has made its first impact with the commitment of the 3*(247 Sports)/4*(Rivals) DL out of SoCal (and first Bosco player since fan-favorite Trey Beck).
The 6’2” 285 lbs SDE looks to join the already loaded group of players from the 2021 class as well as the current DL Damonic Williams. Per DC Sirmon Cal will always recruit the DL, the need for depth in this position reared its head during the Covid 2020 season and was addressed by adding many more players in the last two recruiting classes.
Welcome to Cal!
PS. Pay Browning, please and thank you.
At least for me, I'm not going to count him as a hard commit. Sure, the seven recruits gave rave reviews of Cal's first Official Visit weekend and he's already recruiting others via Twitter. However, Burrell committed after just doing one of his five allotted OVs. He previously planned to also visit Oregon, Boise State, Washington State, and Washington. Unless he publicly shuts down his recruiting, he's still got a long way to go. Young men can be fickle and the last OV usually has the statistical advantage of landing a recruit.
Looks like 247's Crystal Ball is wrong...again.
