Darren Ervin- The newest Golden Bear

Darren Ervin, a 5-9 175 product from Houston, Texas, has committed to the California Golden Bears after the Cal Junior Day. Ervin can play running back or receiver at the next level. A season ago, he ran for 716 yards and 10 TD.




Darren is more of a finesse runner then a power guy. While we don’t have a 40 time, he is quick (at least according to Scout.com) and can accelerate through running lanes. With his tiny frame, he’s elusive and can make cut backs on his runs.



His weaknesses relate to his size. He’s skinny (175 pounds!) and just does not have the frame to break tackles. Injuries might also be a concern. Hopefully he can overcome those flaws.



Ervin provides another talented tailback in a backfield full of them. He should redshirt for a season and sit out for a while, but he still could be a productive player in the future. Welcome to Cal Darren!
