Cal has released a new roster in the leadup to the 2021 season, with a handful of new players listed for the Bears.
Note: As of press time, Femi Oladejo and Ieremia Moore were not listed on the roster, that is a clerical error on the website, per Wilcox

True freshman Myles Williams is listed at outside linebacker, after being listed as a defensive lineman in Cal's signing class release.
Notable weight changes include WR Aidan Lee, up to 240 lbs from 225 in the spring, along with Stanlaey McKenzie up to 340 from 325 in the spring. Ricky Correia is down from 350 to 340, giving Cal two big defensive linemen in the middle to work with.
Running Back Christopher Brown Jr will now be going by Christopher Brooks, taking his mother's maiden name to honor her.
