4-star DE Derek Wilkins commits to Cal!
The California Golden Bears class of 2021 has been a rollercoaster of highs and dramatic pauses so far this offseason. One of those highs, however, just happened when four-star defensive end Derek Wilkins announced his decision to commit to the Bears via Instagram Live and then on Twitter.
Wilkins, who penned this letter, committed as promised on August 8.
“I’d like to thank my mom and dad for raising me into the man I am today, I love you guys. To every teammate I’ve ever had, thank you for pushing me to be my best and sticking with me through all the highs and lows.”
He then also went on to thank his coaches along the way before getting to the real bit of news.
