With the commitment of four-star receiver J. Michael Sturdivant last week, the California Golden Bears now have the third-most four-star players on their list of 2021 commitments in the entire Pac-12. They certainly don’t have the most total commits for this circuit, but those players committed, are good enough to rank them fifth overall in the conference.
In fact, out of the top seven programs in the Pac-12 in terms of recruiting rankings, only Cal has fewer than 11 total commitments to bolster their recruit ranking. As such, their 88.47 overall recruit ranking average is only behind that of USC and Oregon, each who have double-digit four-star players committed.
