Chiggy’s first year here was 2018; though he redshirted, he played in the North Carolina and BYU games. In the 2019 and 2020 seasons, he became a valued contributor and played in 16 of the 17 games during that stretch (missing only the 2019 Ole Miss game).
This past season, he started three games and played in four more; according to his CalBears bio, he has not played since the Colorado game (Oct 23) and has expressed that he just wants to play.

It's too bad - I really though Chiggy was on track to be one of the next takes with the way he started his career and his sophomore year - but he just got passed on the depth chart by a bunch of guys, and especially Lu-Magia.
Best of luck Chiggy - I still believe in you.

ASU: 4
Cal*: 1
CU: 6
Oregon*: 2
OSU: 3
Stanfurd: 3
UCLA: 2
