Cal RB Justin Williams-Thomas Plans to Enter Transfer Portal

Williams-Thomas did not play in any of Cal’s first seven games of 2023 as he recovered from a leg injury that had also prevented him from participating in the Bears’ 2023 spring football workouts.  However, he played in the final six games of the 2023 season and had 21 rushing attempts for 91 yards, a 4.3 yards-per-carry average. Williams-Thomas also had one catch for 7 yards that season.

He played in three games off the bench as a true freshman at Tennessee in 2022 before sitting out the rest of the season so he could redshirt and not have the season could against his eligibility. He had 11 carries for 37 yards that season.

Justin-Williams was not expected to get a lot of playing time in 2025 for Cal unless injuries affected the Bears’ depth at the running back position.  Jaydn Ott and Jaivian Thomas are expected to get most the playing time at running back for the Bears next fall.
