Cal running back Jaydn Ott is expected to make a comeback after a season hampered by an ankle injury. His return, along with the presence of Jaivian Thomas, strengthens the Bears' backfield for the upcoming season.
BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA – SEPTEMBER 24: California ’s Jaydn Ott (6) runs for a touchdown against Arizona during the first quarter of their game at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif., on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2022. (Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group)Ott’s return is welcome news for the Bears, who lost starting quarterback Fernando Mendoza to the transfer portal, where he eventually landed at Indiana University.
Ott ran for 1,315 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2023, while also catching 25 passes for 169 yards and two touchdowns. Ott suffered an ankle injury in the season opener and never could seem to get it completely healed as he rush for just 385 yards on 116 carries with four touchdowns. A resurgence by Ott would give Cal a strong backfield as Jaivian Thomas is also back for a Bears squad that went 6-7 and 2-6 in their first year in the Atlantic Coast Conference this season. Thomas was Cal’s leading rusher with 626 yards on 100 carries, and he scored seven touchdowns
