Eight Cal Football players make East-West Bowl 1,000 reports that Cal Football will send eight players to the East-West Bowl’s 1,000 list of top college prospects eligible for the draft. The selections span offense and defense, including cornerbacks Daniel Harris and Ricky Fletcher, edge Jayden Wayne, offensive lineman Tyson Ruffins, tight ends Mason Mini and Dorian Thomas, and wide receivers Ian Strong and Chase Hendricks. The Bears have three returners among the list—Wayne, Ruffins and Mini—while the others came through a Top 25 transfer portal group brought in by head coach Tosh Lupoi. The article links the group to Cal’s preparation for its week one matchup against UCLA. Defensively, Wayne, Harris and Fletcher are positioned to earn roles, while the 2027 East-West Bowl is scheduled for Feb. 4 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
