The Golden Bears' 9-1 start has caught the attention of several of the top recruits in the Golden State and on Thursday, Cal picked up its biggest commit yet of the 2017 recruiting class when Los Angeles (Calif.) four-star athlete Vince Berg made the call.
"The coaches have been talking about how they are losing quite a few guys and the see me coming in and starting," Berg told TheBearsDen.com.
Berg is rated 93 overall and four stars by the 247Composite and chose Cal over offers from USC, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA and others. He's ranked the No. 38 athlete in the nation and can play both offense and defense.
Last season he caught 32 passes for 592 yards and eight touchdowns and on defense he registered 64 tackles and seven sacks, forced three fumbled, had an interception and blocked two kicks.
"Coaches like how I'm versatile, they said they could see me at safety, linebacker or if I put on some weight I could even move to defensive end," Berg said.

Cal's defense stood tall and got the ball back for the offense, which fought down to the goal line and couldn't punch it in, so a Noah Beito chip shot forced overtime.
Carlos Strickland hauled in the go-ahead touchdown in the second overtime.
The first overtime resulted in field goals for both teams and in the second overtime Webb found Carlos Strickland on a 6-yard strike for the Bears (8-1, 5-1) to go up 34-27. Washington (5-4, 2-4) couldn't match with a score of their own as the Cal defense forced Jake Browning to throw it away on 4th-and-1 to suffer a heart-breaking loss.

Despite dropping its first loss of the year to No. 6 UCLA, 33-24, Cal is still sitting at No. 16 in the country, bowl eligible at 6-1 and hot on the recruiting trail.
After Saturday's loss to the Bruins, on Sunday, the coaches got some good news when three more recruits made pledges to the 2017 class, including their top quarterback target, Mark Hall of Augusta (Kan.).
Hall is rated 86 overall and three-star by the 247Composite and had offers from Tulsa, North Texas, Kansas, as well as interest from Penn State.
"The coaches told me I'm their guy for this class and they don't plan on taking another quarterback in this class," Hall told TheBearsDen.com
Hall is 6-foot-1, 196 pounds and has been clocked as low as a 4.59 in the 40-yard dash.
San Jose (Calif.) defensive tackle Jonathan Smith also jumped on board over the weekend.
"Cal's education is top notch and that was a major factor for me," Smith said. "Also, spots are starting to fill up so I went ahead and committed."
The 6-foot-2, 274-pounder is rated 83 overall and three-star by the 247Composite and chose Cal over San Jose State, San Diego State and Nevada. UCLA had also recently got into the mix for the three-star, but had not yet offered.
Last, but not least, Modesto (Calif.) wide receiver Andre Brown committed to Cal over an offer from Colorado and increasing interest from Stanford. Brown is rated 80 overall and three-star by the 247Composite and the No. 128 receiver in the country.
"I like Cal's offense, I feel like I can catch a lot of balls," Brown said.
The Golden Bears will look to take one or two more guards and possibly a running back if they can find the right fit, then the remaining scholarships will be used on defense. They are expected to sign 20 or 21 in this class.

LOS ANGELES - The Golden Bears came into the Rose Bowl ranked No. 15 and riding a six-game winning streak, but the No. 6 UCLA Bruins had something to say about it and handed Cal its first loss of the year, 33-24.Paul Perkins' late touchdown put the game out of Cal's reach.
Josh Rosen completed 21 of 36 passes for 300 yards and a touchdown and added another score on the ground with 31 yards on 14 carries. However, the player of the game for the Bruins was running back Paul Perkins, who averaged 5.6 yards per carry on 25 carries for 142 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught five passes for 48 yards.
When UCLA pulled ahead in the fourth quarter, Cal fought back within two points and was driving to take the lead until Randall Goforth intercepted Davis Webb in UCLA territory. Rosen led another Bruins (5-0) drive which resulted in a 17-yard touchdown by Perkins with 1:09 left in the game to put it out of reach for the Golden Bears.
Randall Goforth intercepted Davis Webb to stop a potential go-ahead drive for Cal.
Webb completed 24 of 37 passes for 293 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions for Cal and Khalfani Muhammad added another 84 yards on 13 carries. Chad Hansen, Kanawai Noa and Vic Wharton III each had 69 yards receiving for the Golden Bears (6-1).
*Apparently pretend Paul Perkins returned for his senior year in this case.

Several of Cal's top targets were in town over the weekend to catch the Golden Bears' 35-21 victory over then-No. 19 Washington State and by the end of the weekend, the Golden Bears' commit list grew by three.
Six-foot-five, 272-pound offensive tackle Michael Seward out of Compton (Calif.) is the highest rated of the new commits and chose the blue and gold over offers from UCLA and Stanford.
"The atmosphere was amazing and I really feel like they are a team that's on the rise," Seward told TheBearsDen.com
At 89 overall and three-stars by the 247Composite, Seward is ranked the No. 23 tackle prospect in the country.
Heath Maxwell, an 82 overall three-star center from Florence-Graham (Calif.) also committed to Cal over interest from USC, UCLA and Washington. At 6-foot-1 and 274 pounds, he is ranked the No. 20 prospect in the country.
"I feel like Cal wants me the most, like they have shown me the most love," Maxwell said. "Honestly, I've been thinking about this for awhile."
San Francisco's (Calif.) two-star tackle, 6-foot-6, 298-pound John Gibson also made a pledge to the blue and gold. He's rated 76 overall and the nation's No. 95 tackle by the 247 Composite.
Gibson chose Cal over Arizona, Boise State and San Diego State.
These additions give Cal a total of four commits for its 2017 recruiting class, all offensive linemen.

BERKELEY - Davis Webb found the end zone five times as the No. 23 Golden Bears knocked off No. 19 Washington State in a heated, physical Pac-12 match-up.It was a heated, physical battle from the get-go.
Webb finished the day 27 of 41 for 385 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions and punched in another score on the goal line for Cal. Freshman receiver Carlos Strickland was on the receiving end of three of Webb's touchdowns and finished the day with six total catches for 107 yards.
Chad Hansen also eclipsed the 100-yard mark, with five catches for 112 yards and a touchdown. Khalfani Muhammad rushed 23 times for 154 yards and caught seven passes for 37 yards for the Golden Bears.
Gabe Marks hauled in 15 catches for 200 yards and two touchdowns for Washington State and River Cracraft added five catches for 86 yards and one score.
After a scoreless first quarter from both teams, the Golden Bears struck first when Webb connected with Strickland for a 24-yard touchdown midway through the second. Moments later Luke Falk led a touchdown drive for the Cougars to take a 7-7 tie into halftime.
Strickland was on the receiving end of three Webb touchdowns.
The halftime speech apparently hit home as Cal came out fired up after the break. A few plays into the third quarter, Strickland hauled in his second touchdown, a 70-yarder, and followed it with a 7-yard score on the next drive.
Falk wasn't going to let the Cougars (3-2) go down easy as he found Gabe Marks for touchdowns in both the third and fourth quarters to cut the lead to seven, 28-21, with 3:05 to go.
However, Webb had one more long touchdown drive in the tank, which resulted in a 60-yard strike to Chad Hansen to make it a two-score game, 35-21, and hang on to the win for Cal (6-0).

Defeating Oregon for their fifth consecutive win wasn't the only good thing that happened for Cal over the weekend. Following the game, the Golden Bears also picked up their first commitment for the 2017 class when Vista (Calif.) offensive tackle Wayne Butler pulled the trigger.
"I'm 100 percent committed to Cal," Butler told TheBearsDen.com. "They're really building something special out here and I'm excited to be a part of it."
Butler is rated the No. 24 offensive tackle in the country by the 247Composite, at 89 overall and three-stars, and can play either spot for the Golden Bears. The 6-foot-5, 327-pounder chose Cal over an offer from Washington.
"I like their style of offense, I feel like it fits me well," Butler said.
Butler has a 3.8 GPA and was named second-team all-state as a junior.


After only eight total yards of offense in the first quarter, Webb got going in the second quarter tossing two jump-ball touchdowns to Carlos Strickland, then finding a wide open Vic Wharton just before halftime to take a 21-7 lead into the locker room.
Webb threw for 332 yards and five touchdowns.
Royce Freeman busted a 44-yard run for the Ducks just after halftime to make it a game again, but Webb still had the hot hand connecting with Wharton on a 28-yard touchdown strike then Kanawai Noa on an 11-yard strike to end the third quarter up 35-14.
The Ducks finally got going in the fourth as Freeman found the end zone again and Vernon Adams Jr. connected with Dwayne Stanford for a second fourth-quarter touchdown, but there simply wasn't enough time left for Oregon.
Wharton had over 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns.
Webb finished the day 30 of 46 for 332 yards and five touchdowns to just one interception and Khalfani Muhammad added 71 yards on the ground on 12 carries for the Bears.
Wharton led the receiving corps with six catches for 106 yards and two scores, but Noa also caught seven passes for 81 yards and Hansen pulled in seven for 71 yards. Strickland finished with five catches, 49 yards and two touchdowns.
Oregon (2-3) dropped its third consecutive game against a ranked team and Cal won its fifth straight (5-0).
