Cal Adds Three Key Transfer Players, Including BYU's Harrison Taggart

Cal football has made notable additions through the transfer portal, securing commitments from several players to strengthen key positions. The most prominent acquisition is linebacker Harrison Taggart from BYU, who started 12 games last season, recording 69 tackles, an interception, and a forced fumble, and is expected to anchor Cal's linebacker unit alongside Cade Uluave. Taggart chose Cal over offers from Colorado and NC State, bringing with him two years of eligibility and experience as a starter in a strong BYU defense. Cal also addressed its special teams by adding Penn State transfer kicker Chase Meyer, who previously excelled at Tulsa, going 17-for-20 on field goals in 2023. Additionally, Texas Tech safety Jordan Sanford has committed to Cal, offering versatility and athleticism to a secondary that lost all five starters from last season. These moves reflect Cal's aggressive approach to rebuilding its roster following significant losses to both the NFL draft and the transfer portal.
