Ohio State quarterback Devin Brown won a national championship on Monday, as the second-string quarterback behind Will Howard this season. On Tuesday, he made the decision to transfer to Cal, and has officially signed on to play for the university's ACC team.

Brown announced his decision to transfer at the end of the regular season, but chose to stay with the Buckeyes to help them compete in the College Football Playoff, a choice that turned out to be a winning move since Ohio State went on to knock off Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Notre Dame on their way to capturing the inaugural 12-team CFP title.

Cal warmly welcomed the newly-minted national champion to the Golden Bears on Tuesday afternoon.

Brown, a four-star player from Corner Canyon High School in Utah's 2022 recruiting class, wraps up his Ohio State career with 331 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception, having played as a backup to Kyle McCord and Howard over the last two seasons. He will now compete for a starting role in the ACC, alongside Oregon transfer Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele.

California coach Justin Wilcox has hired Bryan Harsin as the Golden Bears' new offensive coordinator. Harsin previously coached at Auburn and Boise State. After an action-packed first season in the ACC, California finished the year with a 6-7 record, including a loss to UNLV in the LA Bowl. Last year, quarterback Fernando Mendoza transferred to Indiana after passing for 3,004 yards, 16 touchdowns, and six interceptions.

Who spent his first year with the Buckeyes in 2024 and five-star 2025 signee Tavien St. Clair. Sayin threw for 84 yards and a touchdown in this season.
