Exclusive Coverage: Monday practice

After taking their first day off of Fall Camp, the Bears were back at it today with another perfect weather day in the high 60s.The ACC Huddle Road Trip crew was there and Jaron put on a show for them with a really sharp practice, despite not having some of his usual targets with Strong, Hamper and Boscia held out and running bleachers. Hopefully nothing serious to keep them out much more. It wasn't the best day for the backups. Jackson Brousseau and QB3 EJ Caminong have had their moments but need to display more consistency and throw less INTs to be more viable backups.RS frosh WR Meyer Swinney was one of the main recipients of the extra playing time availability and probably had the most catches of practice. He's a long, sure-handed receiver who gives a deep unit even more quality depth. Chase Hendricks continues to look like a potentially elite target. Cooper Perry, Trevor Rogers, Kai Meza and Quaron Adams all had nice grabs along with TE Dorian Thomas.RB Carter Vargas looked elite out there, running with burst and elusiveness and will be a big weapon in the passing game. They've been running Adam Mohammed up the middle a lot till today but he was able to pick up some bigger gains outside the tackle today and in the passing game. RB3 Ashten Emory continues to play well and he's a nice passing target out of the backfield, too. RB4 Anthony League has shown much more quickness and burst this year vs last and he can shine if he gets his chance. The OL continued to play 1st teamers Fred Williams and Tyson Ruffins with 2nd teamers Ashton Rivera, Ben Howard and Mike Klisiewicz at C, RG and RT and 2nd teamers Kahlee Tafai and Mykeal Rabess at LT and LG (each played the reverse positions mostly prior to today) with starters Bastian Swinney (C), Sioape Vatikani (RG) and Jimothy Lewis (RT).On defense, edge Solomon Williams continues to impress and ILB Tristan Jernigan had some good reps. At DB, corner Jae'on Young had his best practice and looks to push Marquis Groves-Killebrew to start opposite Ricky Fletcher. Likely safety starter Kingston Lopa was held out as the team helped the Oregon transfer grieve the loss of his father by taking a knee and praying for him as a team after practice.Tomorrow will have the first media availability of the fall with WR coach Ike Hilliard and TE coach Steve Haunga on the mic.@JaronKeawe puts on a display in peactice in today's Fall Camp day five for the ACC Road Trip crew https://t.co/laLTliLBFa pic.twitter.com/fd9Qe2No20— Jim McGill (@BearInsider_com) August 10, 2026 dialed.#GoBears pic.twitter.com/cVmO1PGRwt— Cal Football (@CalFootball) August 11, 2026

The O-line

Many of you have probably seen that we've highlighted how the staff has chosen to season the depth on offense this season by mixing a consistent group of starters and backups together, practicing together on both sides of the field.On the line, that's played out with JKS on the South half of the field playing with the left side of his line - Big Fred at LT, Ruffins at OG and Swinney at center. The right side has pretty consistently featured Mike Klisiewicz at RT and Ben Howard at RG.On the North side of the field with QB2 Jackson Brousseau, the other two starting OL - RT Jimothy Lewis and RG Vatikani have teamed with LT Mykeal Rabess, RG Kahlee Tafai and C Ashton Rivera.Hard to get a feel for the first team as a unit since they haven't fully played together but in 1x1s and 11x11s, all the starters have excelled, particularly Big Fred and Ruffins. The backups have gotten valuable experience working with some OL starters and seem to be developing pretty well, especially Klisiewicz and Howard so far in the first week.Will be interesting to see the starters all play together and how they function as a unit as the rest of the offense looks ready to bust out if the OL does it's part this season.

The Four Big Questions Before Fall Camp Opens

The Bears are two weeks away from opening camp (August 5th) and they will do so with a new staff, a lot of new faces and a not a small amount of energetic momentum. They will also have to answer several important questions that will likely dictate how their season unfolds

Some inside info on the Offensive Line

I got some grease on how one of, if not the most pivotal, position group on the field is coming together.Bryan Harsin vs. Jordan Sommerville evolution will have two big impacts on the OL. Harsin had a system that he had used to great success prior to Cal and every Offensive position coach had to adapt to that system. It was very regimented. Sommerville is more collaborative and wants to have very position coach give input on what will best set up their charges for success. Secondly, the protection schemes under Sommerville will reflect what the OL personnel does best. Rather than what the system proscribesThe Cal staff believes Frederick Williams III made a big jump this Spring and is playing at a much higher level than he did in 2025. They are confident Jimothy Lewis is a future NFL player and simply a "dude". However, those guys need more snaps and experience and the Bears will lean on their hugely experienced interior OL for leadershipThere's a belief that Vaikani's inconsistency had a lot to do with his carrying too much weight last year. They've revamped his nutrition plan, his BMI is much improved and they saw him have his best Spring ever at Cal. Swinney has cemented himself as the starting Center. He played really well at the end of the year last year, is comfortable at Center and snapping the ball and his confidence is sky high. Ruffins is the bell cow of that interior groupThey believe this group can be a very good run blocking line and they want to lean into that. Williams is likely a better run blocker than pass protector right now. My sense is that early in the season, they will utilize protections to help the tackles on obvious passing downs.Jacob Arop looks like the next Tackle up as he's recovered/recovering from an injury and Kahlee Tafai will push hard for snaps on the interiorThey really like Mike Klisiewicz (perhaps a year away) and think the 2026 incoming OL class is the best they've had in many years

National Average Rating

The National Average Rating is a proprietary formula that calculates an industry-wide aggregate rating for each recruiting prospect. The formula includes publicly listed grades, scores, ratings and rankings by national recruiting services, along with a Bear Insider rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect, which is then normalized to fit the Bear Insider Rating 100-point scale.

The intent of this rating is to provide Bear Insider readers with a comprehensive snapshot of how individual prospects rank nationally.

Bear Insider Rating

99-100: Elite national prospect (Five-star)

Considered one of the best prospects in the nation and a likely difference-maker at the collegiate level. Displays all of the physical skills to be a future All-American with potential to be an early-round NFL draft pick.

90-98: Elite state prospect (Four-star)

Considered one of the best 30-40 prospects in the state and a top 250 national prospect. Displays the physical skills to be a major early contributor at the collegiate level with high professional potential.

80-89: Quality prospect (Three-star)

Considered one of the best 100 prospects in the state and a top 500 national prospect. Displays the physical skills to develop into a contributor over the course of his college career. Has the ability to become a professional prospect over time with development.

70-79: Solid prospect (Two-star)

Considered one of the top 250 prospects in the state. Has the physical skills to be a potential contributor at a D-1 program over the course of his collegiate career with significant development. Professional potential is low.

Staff Predictions

The predictions represent which school each staff member believes will ultimately sign the recruit, and the confidence meter represents his level of certainty in that outcome.

Example #1

If the predicted school is Cal and confidence is set to “High”, then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Cal and I feel very certain about that.”

Example #2

If the predicted school is “Alabama” and confidence is set to “Low,” then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Alabama, but I’m not very certain about that.”
