California landed a big offensive tackle over the weekend, as all 6-foot-7 and 310 pounds of Erik Bunte (Mission Viejo, Calif./Mission Viejo) committed to the Golden Bears.
"I committed because Cal is the right fit for me," Bunte said via text message. "It felt like a home away from home."
Originally a verbal commit to UCLA, Bunte and the Bruins went their separate ways recently, and the four-star tackle found his way to the Golden Bears. Despite a coaching staff that is still in flux, Bunte said he was comfortable enough with Cal's new head coach to make a commitment.
