He's a mountain of a dude - 6'6" maybe 6'7" depending on the source and about 330 pounds - with mostly good body composition, but can and should be honed into a machine. And very few people move that well for someone that large. Nice quick steps, good foot technique, active hands, good motor, and a few little nasty eff-yous at the end of plays to show he's got a fighter's attitude.
I am so fired up to see Tommy and his brother at Cal.
Coach Anae has been cookin'. If he coaches as well as he recruits, the offensive line is in good hands.
Awesome! Like everyone has been saying a strong offensive line is critical. It makes everything work significantly better and can also help us recruit skilled offensive players. GO BEARS!!!
I'm getting the sense that the last transfer exodus on offense was very much like when Dykes came in and decided to soft restart the team. Let's just hope that Harsin's first year as our OC isn't as rough.
Mrjpark: The big difference with Dykes is that none of his defenses could stop a sneeze, which was a big reason we were 1-11 in his first season. If Harsin and the rest of the coaching staff can harness these recruits into even above average performances combined with Cal's usually stellar defense, then Cal will start to be a program on the upswing.
I was talking with someone recently about seeing John Tofi playing in the Summer Pro League in the aughts at Kezar Pavilion. He was the center on the Crusader team, which included Marquise Kately, that won a state title in 2002. I am guessing he is related to John and Tommy, perhaps quite closely.
Tommy was #1 on my wish list for Cal recruits. He is a beast - a man amongst boys. If you want to watch him beat up high school kids, watch this:

Great news! We need to extend Wyking Jones and everyone else!
Gotta give this staff some credit. The 2026 class is looking great. Go Bears.

Ok this is fantastic news! And it seems more likely than average that he'd ultimately sign and enroll.
Oh my goodness, this young man is impressive. Thanks for the video, Rob. It's exciting news. Go Bears!
Love these commitment news! Keep them coming Cal!
