Some of the notable St. Mary's alum who also starred for Cal and beyond - Lorenzo Alexander in football and Marcus Semien in baseball.

I had to look up their Wikipedia page to see if there were any other notable guys that I have missed. Actor Ed Quinn also went there and then played rugby at Cal. Director Ryan Coogler of Black Panther and Creed fame was another graduate and played college football at SMC (but that program was cut) and Sac State (and even against Cal).

When your primary motivation is to help your kids develop habits which will make their lives better, you can't fail. I applaud Jahvid for what he is doing and I have no doubt the byproduct of his efforts will be a program that wins a lot of games as well.

Hope one day he becomes the next Ron Gould for us.

I recently looked up if any of Cal DBs started coaching careers in high school. Matt Giordano is HC at Buchanan HS in Fresno, Chris Conte is DB coach at Corona del Mar HS in Orange, DJ Campbell and Sean Cattouse are both PE teachers at high schools, with Cattouse also being a yoga instructor. Haven't looked up other positions yet but I hope those HS coaches start sending recruits our way.

Love Jahvid and wish him all kinds of good. When he says he succeeded because of hard work, we know it is required, but we also know very, very, very few kids with equally hard work will ever do what Jahvid did. There is such a thing as genetic gifts. Does anyone know if he finished his Cal degree? Go Bears!

Congrats Jahvid. Hopefully he will steer some St. Mary's kids to Cal in the future.
