Jaydn Ott leads the way for the Bears in 2024, but Cal has other talented backs who should get playing time
Cal has been stockpiling quality running backs the past few years, and at least one reputable college football analyst is recognizing the running back talent the Golden Bears will put on the field in the ACC in 2024.
That group is led by Jaydn Ott, a first-team All-Pac-12 selection in 2023 when he rushed for 1,315 yards and averaged 5.3 yards per carry. Phil Steele put Ott on his preseason fourth-team All-America squad as well as on his second-team All-ACC preseason team.Kadarius Calloway transferred from Old Dominion, where he averaged 7.1 yards per carry. He origically signed with Alabama and enrolled there before changing his mind and going elsewhere.
Justin Williams-Thomas, a transfer from Tennessee, missed the first half of last season with a knee injury, but did some good things when he played late in the season, running for 91 yards on 21 carries in his redshirt freshman season. Cal also has running back Dean-Taylor Chapman, a walk-on and the son of former standout Cal running back Lindsey Chapman. He did not play last season as a freshman.
