After entering the transfer portal earlier this month, Utah transfer defensive end Xavier Carlton has chosen the California Golden Bears.

Carlton played in 11 games this season, started twice. He produced 18 tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack, a quarterback hit and one pass breakup backing up Mika Tafua with the Utes.

Carlton was a four-star prospect out of college and was recruited strongly by the Bears, and really enjoyed his visit.

Carlton joins a crowded battle for playing time at defensive end. Ethan Saunders, Jaedon Roberts, Darius Long all figure to vie for playing time, and the young freshmen Derek Wilkins and Akili Calhoun are expected to enter the fray. (click here for part 2 of his highlight reel)

This is Cal’s third big pickup in the transfer portal this cycle. As expected, quarterback Jack Plummer officially announced his commitment to the Bears after transferring from Purdue.

Plummer will definitely be in the mix for the starting job with Kai Milner and Zach Johnson—he has the most game experience, and started plenty at Purdue with effective stats.

Linebacker Jackson Sirmon also has come down from Washington after leading the Huskies in tackles..

Is our D this year going to be as good or better than the Bear Minimum in 1968!?!?

Welp, I thought next year's DL was going to be good especially with the return of BJ but this ratchets up expectations. Coach Browning must be yoked and probably can't wait to get back to work w/ these kids.

OT: Austin Jones, remember him? RB from the East Bay that chose 'furd over Cal when he was offered a schollie late in the cycle. Welp, he just entered the portal. Our RB room is full of great kids already.
