Schirmer is the second player to commit to Cal on Sunday, joining offensive tackle Esaiah Wong.

The 6-foot-3, 280-pound Schirmer is a three-star prospect who chose Cal over offers from Washington, Arizona State, UNLV and Washington State, among others.

Schirmer becomes the 18th player to commit to Cal in the class of 2026.

With the addition of Schirmer, Rivals ranks Cal’s 2026 class as the 14th-best recruiting class in the nation at this early stage. The 247 Sports site ranks Cal’s class No. 16 in the country, while On3 puts the Golden Bears at No. 32 although On3 has not added Schirmer to its Cal list yet.

Schirmer is 12th player to commit to Cal in the past three weeks, joining Wong, tight end Luca Wolf, wide receiver EJ Morgan, defensive lineman Frank Fanua, offensive lineman Koloi Keli, tight end Taimane Purcell, quarterback Brady Palmer, offensive tackle Tommy Tofi, four-star running back Victor Santino, defensive tackle Nemyah Telona and offensive lineman Elisha Faamatuainu.
