QuaRon Adams - Shines in finale Adams reeled in all five targets for 65 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-35 win over Southern Methodist.
Impact Adams had just nine catches heading into the Golden Bears' clash with SMU, but he got an extended look against the Mustangs and didn't disappoint, reeling in his first career FBS touchdown. Adams, who has one more season of eligibility remaining, will look to build off this performance heading into 2026.

Jacob De Jesus - Big finish to big season De Jesus recorded 12 receptions (on 13 targets) for 97 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-35 victory versus Southern Methodist.
Impact De Jesus didn't rack up the targets quite to the extent that he did the previous two weeks (41 over two games), but he caught nearly every ball thrown his way as the Golden Bears toppled SMU in a memorable season finale. The star wideout had a career year in Berkeley, with 99 grabs for 892 yards and five touchdowns, and he appears to have one more season of eligibility remaining. If he elects to leave Cal due to the coaching uncertainty, he'll instantly be a hot commodity in the transfer portal.

Cole Boscia - Emerges out of nowhere Boscia hauled in all four targets for 49 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-35 win over Southern Methodist.
Impact Boscia had just two catches heading into California's regular season finale, but against the Mustangs, he secured all four of his targets and broke the plane for his first career touchdown. It remains to be seen if he can parlay this performance into more momentum in Cal's wide receiver room, as he has one more year of eligibility remaining.

Kendrick Raphael - Strong end to regular season Raphael accrued 33 carries for 111 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all five targets for 53 yards during Saturday's 38-35 win versus Southern Methodist.
Impact Raphael was the Golden Bears' workhorse this fall, and he closed out the year with yet another strong performance, scoring his 13th touchdown of the season and eclipsing 100 yards rushing for the third time. Raphael, who spent the first two seasons of his career with NC State, had a career year in Berkeley, rushing for 853 yards and 12 touchdowns on 4.0 yards per carry, also reeling in 31 grabs for 231 yards and two touchdowns. He'll have one more season of eligibility remaining, and should he elect to stay with Cal, he should once again be the lead back.

Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele - Tosses four touchdowns Sagapolutele completed 31 of 40 passes for 330 yards and four touchdowns during Saturday's 38-35 victory over Southern Methodist.
Impact What a finale and what a season for the true freshman Sagapolutele. He saved his best performance for last, as his 330 yards and four touchdowns were each career highs, as was his 77.5 percent completion percentage. When all was said and done, the gunslinger tossed for 3,117 yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions while rushing for three scores as well. California's entire program is in flux in the wake of the firing of head coach Justin Wilcox, and if Sagapolutele decides to look for greener grass elsewhere, he should have a market almost anywhere.

Landon Morris - Uncertain status for Week 14 Morris (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against SMU.
