Quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele returns to California after brief commitment to Oregon

Quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele has signed with California after briefly committing to Oregon. He entered the transfer portal after Oregon's Rose Bowl loss and decided to return to Cal, where he had originally committed in July. Sagapolutele is the top-ranked recruit in Cal's 2025 class and will be eligible to play next fall. His decision follows a trend of high-profile quarterback recruits changing commitments, with nine of ESPN's top 16 quarterbacks flipping their pledges this cycle. At Campbell High School in Hawai'i, Sagapolutele set a state record with 10,653 passing yards. His return to Cal provides him a clearer path to compete for the starting quarterback position, as the Bears have limited experience at the position.
