Running back Jaydn Ott is returning to Cal for his senior season, he announced Sunday morning on Twitter. That's great news for the Golden Bears, who saw quarterback Fernando Mendoza enter the transfer portal. Ott rushed for 1,315 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2023, adding 25 receptions for 169 yards and two scores. But in 2024, an ankle injury sustained in the opener hampered him much of the season, limiting him to 385 yards on 116 carries with four touchdowns. If Ott returns to his 2023 form, he will team with Jaivian Thomas to form a potent backfield for Cal, which finished 6-7 (2-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) in 2024. Thomas led the Golden Bears with 626 yards on 100 carries with seven touchdowns. --Field Level Media
