The December signing day has been an NCAA thing for a few years and it's still a surprise when it arrives. The early February signing day has always been "the day." It's tough to adjust. Anyway, December 18th was the first day that high school football players could sign their National Letters of Intent. All 25 of the high school football players that had made verbal commitments to Cal put those commitments in writing.

A 26th player has since committed but has yet to sign his letter of intent.
Nate Rutchena, WR/ATH, 6-3 196, Monte Vista (Danville, CA)
Due to potential departures to the NFL, Cal needed in an influx of defensive backs. The 2020 Class has a few.
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)
Cal also needed some talented pass catchers.
Tommy Christakos, WR, 6-4 215, Chaparral (Scottsdale, AZ)
Jeremiah Hunter, WR, 6-2 178, Central East (Fresno, CA)
Mason Mangum, WR, 6-0, 175, Westlake (Austin, TX)
Jake Muller, TE, 6-5 235, Capistrano Valley (Mission Viejo, CA)
D’Andre Rogers, TE, 6-4, 230, Eastside Catholic (Sammamish, WA)
Nate Rutchena, WR/ATH, 6-3 196, Monte Vista (Danville, CA)
The jewel of the pass catchers, and perhaps the entire 25-member class, is D'Andre Rogers. He was rated as one of the best players in the state of Washington and the #7 tight end in the nation. Cal has been looking for a difference-making tight end for a few years. They may have finally found that tight end.
Speaking of rankings. Rogers is the lone 4-star recruit in Cal's 2020 Recruiting Class. Five players are in the gray area between 3- and 4-star in some ranker's eyes:
Chris Street
Jeremiah Hunter
Chris Street
Andy Alfieri
Tyson McWilliams
More ranking stuff:
Cal's 2020 Recruiting Class is ranked #6 in the Pac-12 and #34 in the nation. Those are pretty good rankings for Cal and an indication that Justin Wilcox and his coaches are building something in Berkeley. They even held every recruit after offensive coordinator Beau Baldwin left to take the head coach job at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
Pac-12
1. Washington: 22 commits
2. Oregon: 20 commits
3. Stanford: 20 commits
4. UCLA: 22 commits
5. Utah: 17 commits

8. Arizona State: 15 commits
9. Oregon State: 20 commits
10. Washington State: 18 commits
11. Arizona15 commits

The national rankings is topped by the usual group of talent collectors.
