A Somewhat Midseason Look At Cal's 2019 Football Commits

The California Golden Bears host the little baby bears from UCLA today. In advance of the game here's another look at the high school football players that have committed to play in Berkeley next fall. Cal has 20 commits. So far. That feels like a lot for Cal at this point in the recruiting process but it probably isn't. Recruiting heavyweights like Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, Texas A&M, etc. are at or over 20 commits. That itty bitty university in Palo Alto has only 13.

Cal's 2019 Football Commits

Zahran Manley, Upland (Upland, CA), CB, 6-2 176
Elijah Mojarro, Orange Lutheran (Orange, CA), TE, 6-4 225
Braxten Croteau, Liberty (Peoria, AZ), DE, 6-5 240
Brett Johnson, Desert Vista (Phoenix, AZ), DT, 6-4.5 273
Ryan Puskas, Liberty (Peoria, AZ), OLB, 6-3 210
Bradley Archer, Livermore (Livermore, CA), TE, 6-4 240
Blake Antzoulatos, Chaminade (West Hills, CA), ILB, 6-2 225
Brian Driscoll, Torrey Pines (Encinitas, CA), OT, 6'4" 278
Spencer Brasch, Higley (Gilbert, AZ), QB, 6'4" 190
Ben Coleman, Linfield Christian School (Temecula, CA), OT, 6'3" 300
McCade Mettauer, St. Pius X (Houston, TX), OG, 6'4" 287
Orin Patu, Rainier Beach (Seattle, WA), OLB, 6'4" 200
Miles Williams, Mansfield (Mansfield, TX), CB, 6'0" 170
Malik Bradford, Millikan Senior (Long Beach, CA), WR, 6'2" 210
DeCarlos Brooks, Chandler (Chandler, AZ), RB, 5'9" 188
Curley Young, Hendrickson (Pflugerville, TX), OLB, 6'1" 210
Kyle Smith, Los Gatos (Los Gatos, CA) ILB, 6'3" 215
Brayden Rhome, Perry (Gilbert, AZ), OT, 6'6" 270
Myles Jernigan, South Grand Prairie (Grand Prairie,TX), OLB, 6'3" 209
Makai Polk, El Cerrito (El Cerrito, CA), ATH, 6'3" 174

It looks like Cal is focusing on linebackers (6) and offensive linemen (4) in the 2019 recruiting.class. Those two position groups make up half of the class.

Other than California (9), of course, Arizona (6) and Texas (4) are recruiting hot spots for Cal. Washington (1) is the only other state that is home to a Cal recruit.

Some numbers behind Cal's 2019 Football Commits:
National Rank: 39
Pac-12 Rank: 6
Somehow, every one of Cal's recruits has a three-star rating by 247 Spots.

Current Pac-12 Rankings (247Sports)
1.   Oregon
2.   USC
3.  Washington
4.  Stanford
5.  Colorado
6.  California
7.  Arizona State
8.  Oregon State
9.  Arizona
10. Washington State
11. UCLA
12. Utah

WSU, UCLA, and Utah are likely hurt by their total number of commits. All are in single digits. Utah only has six.

Surprisingly, no Pac-12 has received a commitment from a five-star football player. At least 5-star in 247Sport's eyes.
