Lineman Amos Talalele Commits to Cal Football for 2023

Lineman Amos Talalele of Santa Clara (Calif.) High School became the second Cal commitment for 2023 when he announced his decision on social media on Sunday.

He chose Cal over a number of offers, including offers from Utah, Washington and USC.

The 6-foot-5, 320 pound lineman is rated as a three-star recruit by Rivals.com and 247Sports, which ranks him as the 64th-best defensive line prospect in the class.

He had taken two unofficial trips to Cal, and had trips to Arizona, USC and Washington scheduled when he made his commitment to Cal. Whether he will still make those trips remains to be seen. If he does make those trips it means his commitment to Cal may be less solid than it seems.

But landing a player from the Bay Area is important for Cal, which would like to keep the top local talent home.

First and foremost, all glory to God for His many blessings. Second, I'd like to thank my parents for being my first coaches and supporting me through thick and thin and guiding me through life. To my day 1's, my siblings, we did it. I'd also like to thank all the coaches that recruited me. This process has been such a huge blessing in my life and I will never forget the impact it has left on me and the lessons it has taught me.

With that being said, I was raised in the Bay and I'm proud to stay. I'm beyond happy to announce I will be committing to the University of California, Berkeley. Blessed to be a Cal Bear!”
