23 high school football players have verbally committed to play for the University of California next fall. As would be expected, this group is reflective of Cal's current football team. It addresses the quarterback position with two of those.
Zach Johnson, QB, 6-1 190, Hart (Newhall, CA)
Jaden Casey, QB, 6-1 185, Calabasas (Calabasas, CA)
As many as five current Cal defensive backs could be selected in the 2020 NFL Draft. There are five cornerbacks currently in this class.
Isaiah Young, CB, 5-9 156, Centennial (Corona, CA)
DeJuan Butler, CB, 5-11 180, Antioch (Antioch, CA)
Trey Paster, ATH, 6-1.5 200, Buhach Colony (Atwater, CA)
Collin Gamble, CB, 5-10 185, Liberty Christian (Argyle, TX)
Tyson McWilliams, CB, 6-2 170, St. Augustine (San Diego, CA)
Head coach Justin Wilcox has been looking for an imposing presence in the middle of his defensive line since he was hired in 2017. He may have finally found that player.
Ricky Correia, DT, 6-4 359, Central East (Fresno, CA)

Tyson McWilliams, CB, 6-2 170, St. Augustine (San Diego, CA)
Three players are listed by 247 Sports as athletes due to their versatile abilities on the field. I'm guessing that those players are projected to playing the following positions at Cal:
Ender Aguilar-pass rushing linebacker
Trey Paster-cornerback
Aidan Lee-receiver
247 Sports has all 23 commits rated as three-star recruits. Maybe it's just me but I find it statistically unbelievable that all 23 are three-star players. I seriously doubt that Cal's coaches and recruiters exclusively target 247 Sports three-star players. If whatever scouting is actually done by the 247 folks, their qualifications to saddle a player with the middle-of-the-road three-star tag has become extremely broad. Except for chips on shoulders, the shaky star-rating system means little once the player gets his football opportunity on a college campus.
