Chris Yaghi brings length, early recruiting buzz, and a big-frame DT profile to Cal
Chris Yaghi is a 6-5, 270-pound defensive tackle prospect for California whose profile has long leaned on size, leverage potential, and disruptive high-school production; in the 2016 recruiting cycle he was ranked as California’s No. 4 defensive tackle and the nation’s No. 48 at the position by Scout. His prep résumé included 95 tackles, 25 tackles for loss, and 10 sacks over his final two seasons, which is exactly the kind of backfield-creating flash that makes coaches pay attention. For a team, the appeal is clear: he offers prototype interior length and upside if his pad level and consistency translate to the college game.
