Cal 2027 Class Breakdown: Tosh Lupoi excelling in first cycle leading his alma mater

California hired Tosh Lupoi to be its new head football coach, bringing the former Oregon defensive coordinator back to his alma mater. It hasn’t taken him long to get the Golden Bears on the right track from a recruiting standpoint.

Doing its best to go toe-to-toe with the best in its state and the ACC, Cal currently has the No. 21 class in the 2027 Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings . As of Aug. 6, it has 25 total commits, including 11 four-stars.

To no surprise, the in-state trail has served Cal well. It has commitments from five of the top 25 prospects in the Golden State and 16 in-state prospects overall. The headliner is a top-100 overall recruit in Westlake Village (Calif.) Westlake four-star wide receiver Charles Davis .

The 6-foot-4, 190-pounder leads what looks like one of the best pass-catching quartets in the nation. Davis, Sacramento Grant Union four-star tight end Rahzario Edwards , Westlake four-star WR Demare Dezuern and Honolulu (Hi.) Mililani four-star WR Zion White are the four highest-ranked commits in the class.

Sutter (Calif.) four-star EDGE Troy Bowens is the top-ranked commit on the defensive side of the ball. His pledge came in March and was an early catalyst for the Bears as they began to stack recruiting wins throughout the spring.

In May, Cal landed its big quarterback target, beating UCLA and a slew of Big 12 programs for Temecula (Calif.) Chaparral four-star Dane Weber . Now the No. 24 passer in the cycle, Weber was an Elite 11 Finalist this summer.

The class also sits at No. 4 in the ACC team rankings, behind just Miami, Clemson and Virginia Tech. Below is an up-to-date look at who has their sights set on Berkeley ahead of their senior seasons:
