Months after declaring that he would remain at Cal, running back Jaydn Ott entered transfer portal on Monday, multiple media outlets reported.
Ott was slowed in the 2024 season by an ankle injury he sustained in the opener, a large reason why his stats declined significantly from the prior year.
On Dec. 28, Ott tweeted a movie clip from “The Wolf of Wall Street,” showing Leonardo DiCaprio’s character saying, “I’m not leaving. I’m not (bleeping) leaving!”
Ott captured All-Pac-12 first-team recognition in 2023, when he topped the soon-to-be-altered conference in rushing yardage (1,315) and rushing touchdowns (12) on 245 carries. He added 196 yards and two TDs on 26 receptions.
Last season, Ott managed just 385 yards and four scores on 116 carries. He also made 24 receptions for 222 yards and a TD.
Cal went 6-6 in each of the past two regular seasons before losing in a bowl game.
On3 reported that Oklahoma is an early contender to land Ott, who is listed at 6 feet, 205 pounds.
In addition to Ott, Golden Bears running backs Kadarius Calloway, Byron Cardwell Jr. and Justin Williams-Thomas also are entering the transfer portal, according to multiple reports.
