Cal Football Defensive Back Jaylen Martin enters transfer portal
Would have 3 years to play with the Covid Year exception
Cal Redshirt Sophomore Jaylen Martin has entered transfer portal. The former 3-Star DB, who was a last minute flip to Cal from Colorado after Mike Macintyre’s firing, leaves after playing sparingly during his 3 years in Berkeley. The 6-2 corner didn’t break into the rotation this season with the emergence of Lu-Magia Hearns, Collin Gamble and Isaiah Young.

Thanks for your time here Jaylen! We wish you nothing but the best wherever you go!
Makes sense, Hearns, Gamble, and Young will make for a killer CB lineup over the next few years (it'd also be a solid law firm)
With all due respect, this is the kind of situation you want to see in the transfer portal. A young man who who didn't get much playing time who thinks he can better himself with another team and another system. The opposite to that is a guy like Mettaur, a second team all conference player who left for a program that will get way more wins and tons more media exposure for his likely move to the NFL. I mean, he didn't go to Oklahoma for the better scholastics.
