Jude McLellan brings Cal a long, rangy outside linebacker with rising frame and recruit pedigree
In the 2025 season, Jude McLellan entered California’s outside-linebacker room as a 6-foot-3, 225- to 235-pound redshirt sophomore, and the buzz around him is all about upside: he was a productive high school edge rusher at Carlsbad, ranking among his section’s better tacklers and sack-makers, and Cal’s roster updates show he has already added size in the program. He looks like a fit if your team wants length, physicality, and developmental pass-rush potential more than instant finished-product polish.
