Spring Showcase Wraps up Spring Practice on a Sunny Saturday at Memorial

BERKELEY - An estimated 1,200 fans were treated to some much-awaited action at Memorial Stadium as the Bears wrapped up this season’s spring practice with their annual Spring Showcase Saturday afternoon.

The scrimmage culminated the four weeks of work and months of planning beforehand that went into integrating a large number of transfer and early entry players along with a significant number of coaching changes.

“I think it came together really well,” head coach Justin Wilcox said after practice. “A lot of that is due to the work that’s done before the actual practices. The time we spent in meetings, the staff, the player meetings, the workouts the players are doing with their strength staff. They did a phenominal job this winter and made us better. 

Talking about the newly-assigned Co-DC roles assigned to OLB coach Vic So’oto and DB coach Terrance Brown, Wilcox declined to specify who would be calling plays on game, whether it would be him, So’oto, Brown or some combination.

Some of the day’s highlights included:

  • QB EJ Caminong hitting TE Jack Endries and WR Isaac Torres for back-to-back 16-yard TDs in a red zone drill early in the session
  •  Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele‍ 20-yard completion to WR Trond Grizzell
  • Sagapolutele to WR Mavin Anderson for 10
  • Jaydn Ott 2-yard TD showing great burst around the edge
  • javian Thomas 25-yard TD run
  • QB Devin Brown‍ to WR Jonathan Brady for 15
  • Brown to Brady for 30
  • A Thomas 5-yard TD run
  • An Aaron Hampton tip and Jasiah Wagoner INT and likely pick-six

  • Sagapolutele to WR Trevor Rogers for 18
  • A nice interception by CB Khamani Hudson on an overthrown deep sideline pass by Brown
  • A pass blocked by DE BJ Canady on a Brown pass
  • A 5-yard TD run by RB Jamal Wiley
  • Back-to-back TD runs by RB Jayden Parker - the first called back with a fumble and the second for 25 yards with an impressive cutback that froze several defenders. Parker is the son of longtime Cal staffer Kevin Parker.
  • RB Dean-Taylor Chapman with a nice 20-yard TD. Chapman is another Cal legacy, the son of former Cal RB great Lindsey Chapman.
  • Caminong to WR Cole Boscia for 25-yard completion
  • Parker with 15-yard run and a 4-yard TD run
  • QB Dominic Ingrassia to WR Jaivian Plummer for 40 yards
  • A Dean-Taylor Chapman TD
