Ex-Cal standouts Ferrelli, McCulloch both land at new schools after transferring
"Ferrelli, the Bears' standout freshman who helped anchor their defense with 91 tackles, reposted an On3 X post announcing his transfer and added the message, Tiger nation, let's roll. Ferrelli's biggest play for the Bears (7-6) was a game-saving interception at the goal line with 19 seconds left in a 28-24 win on the road against Boston College on Sept. 27."
"Fellow ex-Cal standout linebacker Ryan McCulloch, meanwhile, is officially committed to UCLA, the Southern California News Group confirmed. McCulloch was one of about 20 transfer portal entrants arriving in Westwood this past weekend to greet new Bruins coach Bob Chesney. McCulloch, who before starring in Berkeley played at the historically small Rio Hondo Prep in Arcadia, joins his former Golden Bears outside linebackers coach Vic So'oto with the Bruins after So'oto was named as UCLA linebackers coach last week."
Linebacker Luke Ferrelli, the Atlantic Coast Conference defensive rookie of the year with Cal this season, is transferring to Clemson. Ferrelli recorded 91 tackles as a freshman and made a game-saving interception at the goal line with 19 seconds remaining in a 28-24 road win over Boston College on Sept. 27. Ferrelli reposted an On3 X announcement of his transfer and added the message, Tiger nation, let's roll. Junior Cade Uluave, who formed one of the ACC's top linebacker duos with Ferrelli, has entered the transfer portal. Former Cal linebacker Ryan McCulloch committed to UCLA and arrived with about 20 transfer portal entrants to greet new Bruins coach Bob Chesney. McCulloch, who played at Rio Hondo Prep before starring at Berkeley, joins former Cal outside linebackers coach Vic So'oto on the UCLA staff. The 6-3, 255-pound edge rusher tallied 1.5 sacks during a four-game stint in 2025 while dealing with injuries, has played 26 games across three seasons and retains at least two years of eligibility.
