Jaxon Pyatt brings a downhill, high-volume linebacker profile to Cal
A consensus three-star freshman linebacker at California, Jaxon Pyatt arrives with a punchy résumé: in his 2024 high school season, he posted 140 tackles, 18.0 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and a pick-six, after a 2023 season with 102 tackles, 17 TFL and 4 sacks. He’s a heavy-hitting inside linebacker with production, range and edge, plus the kind of multi-sport toughness and competitiveness that coaches love. The fit is simple: if Cal wants a violent, instinctive defender who flies to the ball and can grow into the front seven, Pyatt is worth your attention.
