Cal football releases spring depth chart
Cal football releases spring depth chart
Cal football released its first depth chart of spring Tuesday.
Position battles are still in their early stages, of course.
[...] this provides a snapshot at how players look in coaches’ eyes.
Here are some quick takeaways:
Senior Dominic Granado, the starter last season, is listed as a co-starter at center with sophomore walk-on Addison Ooms.
Senior walk-on Patrick Worstell, the Bears’ special teams MVP last season, is in a three-way tie atop one of the outside receiver positions with redshirt freshman Brandon Singleton and Tennessee transfer Vic Wharton III.
In practices, Singleton has delivered his share of highlights.
Don’t be surprised if this job comes down to Singleton and Wharton, who is slimming down after adding unnecessary weight while sitting out.
Practice reps suggest otherwise.
In workouts, Chase Forrest, Ross Bowers and Zach Kline have taken the bulk of the snaps.
Freshman Melquise Stovall is the starter at slotback.
In a short period of time, the early enrollee has lived up to his four-star billing.
Coaches are hopeful he’ll be a game-changing playmaker come fall.
Sophomore Aisea Tongilava is the starter at strongside linebacker.
