JUCO defensive back Matthew Littlejohn commits to Cal

Cal was intent on being aggressive in the transfer portal to address myriad needs, but so far the returns on that effort have specifically addressed the secondary.

The Golden Bears landed their third transfer addition Saturday as JUCO defensive back Matthew Littlejohn announced his commitment.

Littlejohn, from Citrus College in Glendora, Calif., can play safety or corner, giving the Bears a versatile utility piece in the secondary.

The program had already added Colorado cornerback transfer Kaylin Moore and UNLV CB Nohl Williams.

The Bears, who are hosting several key transfer targets at defensive end, running back and offensive line this weekend, are likely only just beginning their portal additions.

Littlejohn, who is originally from San Antonio, Texas, is 6-foot, 180 pounds and had 51 tackles and 2 interceptions (1 returned for TD) for Citrus College this past season.

Cal list veteran starting safety Daniel Scott, but the Bears return the rest of their contributors at that position and their cornerback contributors.

But after a season in which the defense underachieved across the board, the staff is clearly not content with the status quo.

Watch Littlejohn's highlights below:
