Physical nickel defender with ball skills, but injury cloud lingers
In the 2024 season, Matthew Littlejohn gave Cal a steady presence in the secondary, recording 15 tackles and three pass breakups after a stronger 2023 that included 42 tackles and an interception. His calling card is versatility at nickel, physical run support, and proven ball production from his junior college days and early Cal seasons. The catch: injuries interrupted his 2024 rhythm, so he looks like a useful fit for a team needing toughness and experience, but not a plug-and-play iron man.
