Cal has officially announced a couple moves within the recruiting/player personnel side of things today. Marcus Griffin, a former Arizona and Central Michigan DL, and David Ortega, who had helped with recruiting and video with the Bears previously, have been brought on as the new assistant directors of player personnel working alongside Marshall Cherrington. Ortega has plenty of familiarity with the program having worked for the Bears already while Griffin will help the program continue to build its connections in the Pacific Northwest.
He had worked closely with the FSP 7-on-7 program up in Washington that has been part of the Bears' efforts in the region. He has a number of connections throughout the recruiting world that should only help raise the profile of Cal among recruits in the West, in particular. I actually covered Marcus as a recruit and eventually player at Arizona, and he's always been well liked wherever he goes.
The new staffers have already hit the ground running and have been plenty involved with recruiting this spring.
