CONGRATS TO ALL OUR GRADS TODAY!!! MADE THE 40 YEAR DECISION!!! And a degree from the #1 Public School in the World… 🐻🎓🧠

Cal is expected to have a quieter Signing Day than usual.

Cal currently has ten Golden Bears likely to fax in their papers today to be joining the freshman class of 2023.

• Nyziah Hunter, Salinas (Ca.) wide receiver

• Jaivian Thomas, Oakland (Ca.) McClymonds running back

• Cade Uluave, Herriman (Ut.) Mountain Ridge linebacker

• Ben Marshall, Murfreesboro (Tn.) Blackman tight end

• Tiumalu Afalava, La Puente (Ca.) Bishop Amat defensive lineman

• Sailasa Vadrawale, Rohnert Park (Ca.) Rancho Cotate cornerback

• Ryan McCulloch, Arcadia (Ca.) Rio Hondo Prep athlete

• Frederick Williams, Gardena (Ca.) Junipero Serra edge

• Matthew Littlejohn, Glendora (Ca.) Citrus College safety

• Zurich Ashford, Las Vegas (Nv.) Arbor View defensive lineman

Two more transfers are expected to join them in UNLV cornerback Nohl Williams and Colorado defensive back Kaylin Moore.

The Bears currently have the 83rd ranked recruiting class in college football according to 247 Composite. That would rank 11th in the Pac-12 and third-lowest among all Power 5 programs.

There is expected to be maybe one or two kernels of news to drop regarding some additional commitments, and we’ll have it covered during the day. But if I had to guess, the Bears are likely turning their focus to the transfer portal in hopes of making immediate talent infusions. Justin Wilcox wants a turnaround in a hurry.

Enjoy Signing Day all!
