Cal got itself a weapon in the 2018 class, as 4-star wide receiver Nikko Remigio committed to Cal today, after visiting Berkeley and receiving his offer at Cal's skill camp last Saturday. Remigio becomes the eighth player in the class of 2018 to commit to Cal and the third on offense, joining OL Jasper Friis and TE McCallan Castles. The Mater Dei wideout is the 36th best player in the state of California, and joins six other current Cal players from Mater Dei.

Remigio noted that Marques Tuiasosopo had been recruiting him since his time at UCLA, and with family in the area and a long conversation with wide receivers coach Nick Edwards right before getting his offer, the factors all came together in Remigio's recruitment, as Justin Wilcox gets his first four-star recruit at Cal.

Our Nam Le has a scouting report on Remigio below:

"For a while now, we’ve all being acutely aware of the need for a little juice in the 2018 recruiting class. Now, we’ve got some – in the form of 5’11, 180 pound receiver Nikko Remigio, and it couldn’t have come at a better time, since Drew Kobayashi just transferred out. With his commitment to the Wilcox-led Bears, though, Cal is getting their first 4-star playmaker, and one who boasts 12 P-5 offers, to boot.

In short, Remigio is a weapon. Mater Dei knows this, which is why his highlight tape also includes getting touches on special teams, on bubble screens, and however else they can scheme him the football. The staff sees him as being able to contribute at Cal either inside or out, but because of his smaller frame, I’d be inclined to try him first on the inside, where they can try to take advantage of him as a mismatch against teams in base, some nickels, etc, and also help hide him off of press. (5’11 is possible at outside, but it depends on how his strength develops/works out against FBS competition. He’s going to need S&C.)

At inside, though, Cal does already have its present in the form of Melquise Stovall, and its probable future in Jeremiah Hawkins, who is a better athlete on tape, at least. Remigio isn’t a slouch athletically or anything, but he does lack the elite breakaway speed or shiftiness of those two at this particular point. His best traits as a receiver are simply making sure he gets open, and his comfort level with the route tree from out of the middle of the field illustrates that, as he is nearly uncoverable on the tape by one guy, finding daylight and weak spots in the coverage."

Remigio picked Cal over offers from Nebraska, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and UCLA.
