Cal star running back Jaydn Ott is entering the transfer portal, according to 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz. Ott’s unexpected decision makes him one of the top talents in the market.
Ott was limited to 10 games after an ankle injury in the season opener against UC Davis. He completed the 2024 season with 385 rushing yards and four touchdowns.
During his breakout 2023 season, Ott averaged 109.5 rushing yards per game, ranking ninth nationally, and concluded that year with 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns.
