Overview

  • Jaydn Ott, Cal's top running back and 2023 First-Team All-Pac-12 selection, officially entered the transfer portal on Monday, April 15, 2025.
  • Ott's decision follows a 2024 season hampered by an ankle injury, significantly reducing his productivity after standout performances in prior years.
  • The transfer comes as SEC programs and Oklahoma reportedly show strong interest in the dynamic rusher, who has amassed 3,460 all-purpose yards over three seasons.
  • Ott's departure is part of a broader exodus from Cal's football program, with three other running backs and offensive lineman Trent Ramsey also entering the portal.
  • Cal now faces major roster challenges, with its backfield depth severely impacted and the spring transfer window officially opening on Wednesday, April 17, 2025.
