Cal navigates major 2026 roster overhaul

Cal added 33 portal contributors under Tosh Lupoi, with particularly extensive turnover at linebacker and a defensive line rebuilding after the departures of Aidan Keanaaina and T.J. Bollers. The inside-linebacker group has athletic upside but limited experience, while Jericho Johnson leads a deep yet unproven defensive-line rotation. The running-back room has potential, with Mohammed emerging as a possible lead back, but roles remain unresolved.
