The California Golden Bears received one of their highest-ranked commitments for the class of 2021 just a few weeks ago when 247Sports 4-star DE Derek Wilkins pledged to the Bears.
Though a 3-star recruit on the 247Sports Composite, the recruiting outfit ranks him as a four-star prospect and as the 16th-best defensive end in the class. He’s the 21st-ranked player in the state of California, and standing 6’4, 250 pounds from Santa Margarita Catholic, Wilkins is a huge in-state get for head coach Justin Wilcox and Co.
Versatile defensive lineman who can play inside or outside in college.
