In the age of the transfer portal it is not about what a program loses but how it replaces what it lost that ultimately matters. Cal lost five running backs to the transfer portal this spring, and the Bears have started to put together their new group in recent days.
Saturday, just after four Cal players heard their names called in the NFL draft, NC State transfer running back Kendrick Raphael announced his commitment to the Bears locking in his pledge after two seasons with the Wolfpack.
The 5-foot-11, 195-pound back from Naples, Florida will head across the country to the Bay Area following two productive seasons at NC State.
