Shane Vereen was a do-it-all Cal back with rare receiving chops
In the 2010 season, Shane Vereen was one of California’s most complete offensive weapons, rushing for 1,167 yards and 13 touchdowns while adding 22 catches for 209 yards[4][8]. Across his Cal career, he totaled 2,834 rushing yards, 74 catches, and 35 total touchdowns, showing the burst, balance, and pass-game versatility teams love in a modern RB[2][4]. He played in all 38 possible games at Cal, which says a lot about his durability and consistency, and his style fit a high-output offense: reliable, explosive, and matchup-friendly[2][8].
