Jaydn Ott

Following a spring recruiting period full of high-level transfer additions, the Bears continue to add heading into the summer.

Cal football is set to begin its spring session of practices, ending with the spring showcase on April 15. However, fans still have questions about where this team will end up in 2023.

With the closing of the transfer portal Jan. 18, 2023, and national signing day Feb. 1, The Daily Californian’s sports editors are bringing readers a comprehensive update to the ins and outs (quite literally) of Cal’s 2023 football roster.

Even before the clock struck 8 a.m., Cal football had already named several new commits to its 2023 squad. By midday, Cal had added 14 new names to its football roster.

The former 4-star recruit has already notched six rushing touchdowns as a true freshman this season. The idea that Cal running back Jaydn Ott will grace the big stage in the big leagues is, as of now, entirely in the realm of possibility — in fact, it is expected for the up-and-coming star.

Stanford has a lot riding on the Big Game, potentially with its last chance of notching a win this season. The Stanford Daily’s sports managing editor sat down with the Daily Californian to discuss the details of Cal’s most anticipated game of the season.

In its final road contest of the season, Cal will travel to Corvallis to challenge the formerly ranked Oregon State Beavers. It will be the last of a four-game stretch where the Bears faced current or former nationally ranked Pac-12 schools.

The latest hope in question took the form of Cal’s opening touchdown against USC, in a game that ultimately ended in a 35-41 blue and gold loss.

In 11 months’ time, conference reconfigurations and the all-powerful transfer portal conceived USC a new main character this season. On Saturday, the Bears will assume the role of the underdog as they are set to tussle with the No. 9 Trojans at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Despite only playing for a single quarter, second string quarterback Kai Millner brought hope to a near-empty stadium littered largely with Oregon green.
