Ruled out Saturday Mohammed (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game versus Virginia Tech, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Mohammed, who came into the game with a doubtful designation, has now officially been ruled out. He was excellent across the first four games of the season, totaling 504 yards and three touchdowns from scrimmage. He will hope to return for next Saturday's game versus Wake Forest.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to doubtful Mohammed (undisclosed) is now listed as doubtful for Saturday's contest versus Virginia Tech.

Impact Mohammed is positioned to miss his second consecutive game for California. As the team's lead running back, his absence is expected to open up more carries for Ashten Emory and Anthony League. A final injury report will surface Saturday to determine his availability, but all signs point to him sitting out.

Questionable vs. Virginia Tech Mohammed (undisclosed) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against Virginia Tech.

Impact Mohammed sat out against UNLV in Week 5, and now his status is uncertain for Saturday. The running back has led the backfield this season, logging double-digit carries in all four appearances. If he is unavailable, expect Carter Vargas and Asheten Emory to see more carries.

OCTOBER 3 • Associated Press

Doesn't play in Week 5 Mohammed didn't play in Saturday's 39-31 loss to UNLV due to an undisclosed injury, according to Jeff Faraudo of The Mercury News.

Impact The injury remains unknown, and his status for the Oct. 10 matchup against Wake Forest is also uncertain. Sophomore Ashten Emory, a transfer from UTEP, got the start at running back, finishing with 12 carries for 48 yards, including a seven-yard touchdown. He should continue to get steady touches while Mohammed is out.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Largely contained by Tigers Mohammed compiled 13 carries for 51 yards and reeled in all three targets for 30 yards during Friday's 24-10 loss versus Clemson.

Impact After a three-touchdown day against FCS Wagner in Week 3, Mohammed was mostly contained by much stiffer competition. The tailback was still California's clear top back, and he turned his 16 touches into 81 total yards, but it was an overall quiet day for the star tailback. Week 5 at UNLV presents an easier defense for the Golden Bears.

Three-TD day in blowout Mohammed logged 13 rushes for 91 yards and two touchdowns and gathered in all two targets for 78 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-7 victory over Wagner.

Impact Mohammed had another solid day on the ground and remained active as a receiver as California's offense predictably rolled over FCS Wagner. The tailback's 78 receiving yards were a season high, and if he can continue to be productive as a receiver, it would help his fantasy production tremendously. It is worth noting that his carries have dropped each week this fall, from 28 in the opener to 19 at Syracuse to 13 against Wagner.

Held out of end zone in win Mohammed notched 19 rushes for 74 yards and hauled in 5 of 6 targets for 14 yards during Saturday's 21-18 victory against Syracuse.

Impact Mohammed maintained his big share of touches in this Golden Bears' offense, but unlike in his 2026 debut, he was unable to find the end zone and didn't surpass 100 yards. However, the tailback remains easily California's top ball-carrier -- the next most-involved back had two carries -- and he also now already has 13 catches through two games. There's no shortage of touches for Mohammed in this offense, one that has a tremendous matchup next week against FCS Wagner.

Big day in defeat Mohammed recorded 28 carries for 120 yards and one touchdown, adding seven catches for 46 yards during Saturday's 45-24 loss to UCLA.

Impact Though California wound up losing pretty handily, Mohammed had himself a tremendous day on the ground. The tailback was a workhorse, dominating the carries with 28 -- no other Golden Bear notched more than four. Mohammed's 28 carries were easily a career-high, and after playing second-fiddle to Jonah Coleman at Washington last fall, the tailback looks primed to explode this fall.

Signs with California Mohammed will transfer to California, per Hayes Fawcett of On3.com.

Impact Mohammed ran for 532 yards and five touchdowns on 4.9 yards per carry this season, his true sophomore year with Washington. He saw more action towards the end of the year when starter Jonah Coleman was dealing with an injury, and he put together some good games, including back-to-back 100-plus-yard outings against UCLA and Oregon. Mohammed has two years of eligibility remaining with the Golden Bears.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Leaving Huskies' program Mohammed will enter the transfer portal, per On3.

Impact Mohammed was the second fiddle to Washington's stud running back Jonah Coleman this fall, rushing for 523 yards and five touchdowns on 106 carries, catching 17 passes for 138 yards as well. A true sophomore, he'll have two seasons of eligibility remaining at his next stop, and should garner plenty of interest in the transfer portal.
