Cal Bears running back Jaydn Ott is planning to transfer. The beloved rusher is back in the portal for the second time in as many seasons. Well, sort of.
Ott tricked the entire fanbase with a fake transfer announcement in December of 2023 before reaffirming his loyalty to the program. The Bears wish he was joking this time around, too.
Ott blossomed into a star at the university as a sophomore. He led the PAC 12 in rushing with a 1,300-yard season in which he found the endzone 14 times.
The production led to portal options. He had his pick of the litter when it came to transfer suitors. He teased his potential portal entry in a video during the offseason only to reverse course six seconds later.
Thank you Cal

Jaydn Ott “siked out” an entire fanbase. He returned to play for the Cal Bears in the fall. Unfortunately, his production declined.
Ott suffered an ankle injury in the opener. It caused him to miss two games. He was hopped on the depth chart by teammate Jaivian Thomas. Still, he appeared eager to return for his senior season after an 84-yard outing in the team’s bowl game.
He further insinuated a plan to stay put after commenting on teammate Mavin Anderson’s transfer decision. “Nooo, don’t leave us,” that reply read. He had a change of heart soon after.
Jaydn Ott is in the transfer portal.
Last offseason, he pledged his loyalty to the program. He stayed put when he could’ve bolted.

This time around, the same storyline won’t play out. Jaydn Ott is leaving Berkeley. He’ll be headed to a new destination as he looks to finish out his college career.
Oklahoma is reportedly in pursuit of the running back. Many speculate he’ll end up in the SEC or Big 10 where his paycheck will be much larger than what Cal can offer.
Ott is likely to land a lucrative NIL deal given his status as one of the top transfer options in the portal. This was a business decision. Still, he’s turning his back on the fanbase he won over. The Bears wish it was another joke. This time, it’s not.
