Some big news for Cal this evening as Rivals100 four-star cornerback Ryan Yaites from Guyer HS in Denton, Texas has trimmed his list down to four schools. He previously released a top 8 that did not include the Bears, but his new list does include Cal along with Texas Tech, LSU and Michigan State. Cal is the only new addition to the list after the other three were already included on his previous list of finalists that was released New Year's Day.
The Bears have made a strong push in Texas and now are right in the mix with Yaites, who cut USC, Oregon, Notre Dame, Texas and Ole Miss from his list in the latest round of cuts. Yaites was once rated as high as the 43rd-best prospect in the class. He now ranks 73rd overall and is considered the 11th-best cornerback recruit in the 2023 class and the 11th-best prospect in Texas in the cycle. At 6-foot-2, Yaites could play either cornerback or safety in college. Schools have recruited him at both positions up until this point.
