This is the second year in a row the player considered Cal’s top offensive lineman has transferred out. McKade Mettauer left for Oklahoma following the 2021 season.
The Bears’ offensive line was their biggest weakness this past season, which led to the firing of offensive line coach Angus McClure. Cal recently hired North Texas offensive coordinator Mike Bloesch as its new offensive line coach. Bloesch will also be the Bears run-game coordinator.
Cal finished with a 4-8 record in 2022. while Arizona State wound up with a 3-9 record, including 2-7 in Pac-12 play. New head coach Dillingham was Oregon’s offensive coordinator this past season.
