Cal football transfer portal visits: WR Mikey Matthews, OL Victor Stoffel, QB Chubba Purdy
Cal has some top portal targets visiting in the coming days.
On the heels of the commitment of running back Kadarius Calloway via the transfer portal, here are some nuggets of public transfer portal news involving our California Golden Bears.
Quarterback Chubba Purdy, transfer out of Nebraska, will make his final official visit to Berkeley on January 13. He will also visit North Texas, TCU, and San Jose State in the week leading up to his trip to Cal, according to Brad Cesmat of Sports360AZ. The brother of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, Chubba completed 51% of his passes for 529 yards at Nebraska, adding 253 rushing yards and three rush touchdowns.
At FSU, he saw action in four games, completing 32 of 58 (55.2%) for 317 yards with four TDs and just one pick and 62 rushing yards.
Wide receiver Mikey Mathews, transfer out of Utah, is visiting Cal this weekend after taking a trip to Baylor, according to Greg Biggins of 247Sports. Matthews had a productive freshman campaign, hauling in 29 catches for 261 yards and over 300 return yards in the special teams game. He is ranked as the 97th best prospect in the portal and 20th best wide receiver by 247Sports.
Also expected to visit is offensive tackle Victor Stoffel from Temple, as reported by Pete Nokas at On3. He was the starting right tackle for the Owls the last two seasons and could compete for an open tackle spot next season. Stoffel is the 30th best offensive tackle prospect in the portal, according to 247Sports.
Beyond the RB room, I am not seeing a clear upgrade in talent level via the portal. Did I miss something?
