Ferrelli (6-3, 220) is ranked as the No. 15 linebacker in the portal by On3, also coming in at No. 232 overall.
He was an honorable mention All-ACC selection after starting all 12 games for the Bears, leading the league’s freshmen in tackles (87) — which gave him the ninth-best per-game average within the conference.
His interceptions in the end zone sealed Cal’s dramatic win against Boston College in late September.
Ferrelli was rated a low-mid three-star out of San Diego (Calif.) Carlsbad.
He committed to Arizona the spring of his senior year, flipped to Stanford when it offered that summer, then switched to Cal late. Texas A&M offered him at its camp after he reportedly clocked a 4.56 40 and posted a 37-inch vertical.
