Carter Jackson decommits from Cal, leaving Jojo Solis as the lone RB commit
The Bears now currently have one running back recruit for the 2025 class.
The California Golden Bears lost an early commitment, as 2025 Folsom running back Carter Jackson is going to look elsewhere, reopening his recruitment. Jackson had been committed to Cal since last June, and as it sometimes goes with early commits, a lot can change in that time.
Running back coach Aristotle Thompson has proven that he can find good runners through the transfer portal and through regular recruiting, as the Bears are probably deepest at running back to give Jaydn Ott an ample amount oof depth to work with. .
If Cal can hold onto Jojo Solis as he lights up the scouting circuit, then they will still have netted a very solid ball carrier for the future. Solis is currently ranked as the 68th best California prospect and 68th best athlete by 247Sports Composite.
Lots of recruiting ahead for the Bears this cycle. Hopefully better news is on the horizon.
Coach Pappy Waldorf once said, "Backs are a dime a dozen but good linemen are hard to find". So no problem. Cal has lots of running backs, so get some more good linemen.
commitment: an engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action, unless you change your mind after long and thoughtful conversation with your family, agent, NIL advisers, and so forth.
