Cal sent a contingent of coaches to Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon on Thursday. The Golden Bears went on an offer spree at that powerhouse and at other locations across Southern California.
In total, around a dozen prospects landed new Cal offers as the coaches weren’t shy at Sierra Canyon especially with younger prospects.
“It was great getting that offer,” 2029 athlete Lance Brown said. “Definitely, they will play a big role in where I go to school. I like what coach Tosh (Lupoi) is building and seeing them keep Cali kids in California is amazing.
“I’ve heard great stuff from my teammate and Cal commit Myles Baker about the school. Definitely a place I could see myself in the future.”
Ole Miss, San Diego State, USC and others have been reaching out to Brown, who’s waiting to see which coaches come through to the Sierra Canyon College Showcase in early May. Cal’s group left a big impression Thursday, though.
“Loved how many coaches from Cal came out to our practice,” Brown said. “You usually see one or two coaches come but about seven came out.”
2028 receiver Christian Butler said: “I’ve been thinking about that Cal offer a lot. I like the direction the program is going, especially with Tosh taking over it seems like there’s more energy and a clear vision for something special. I’m definitely interested in how they develop players and how they could develop me.”
Seven Sierra Canyon prospects landed Cal offers on Thursday. One was 2029 defensive lineman Stephan Harrison, who they could be grooming to be a -type player, and while USC, UCLA, Ohio State, Nebraska, Ole Miss and Washington are also involved, Cal has now thrown its hat in the ring.
