Cal Sophomore Tight End Keleki Latu entered his name into the transfer portal early this afternoon and confirmed his intentions in a twitter post this evening.
Latu, a true sophomore will have two years of eligibility remaining wherever he ends up. The Sacramento native had 18 receptions for 207 yards on the season and a singular touchdown when Cal hung 49 in a victory over Arizona. Keleki was looking to establish himself as a starting tight end vs Jermaine Terry II and Elijah Mojarro but will now look to utilize his talents elsewhere. His brother, Laiatu Latu is a redshirt junior linebacker at UCLA, so that could be a potential transfer site should Keleki desire to play with his brother.
We thank Keleki for representing the blue and gold well throughout his two years in Berkeley and wish him the best as he continues his career.
TE leaving when a spread focused OC takes the reigns isn't all that surprising, however he will be missed
Dang going to miss the big man....
