Muhammad Ali’s grandson commits to Cal’s football program
Float like a butterfly, sting like a Golden Bear?
Biaggio Ali-Walsh, Muhammad Ali’s 17-year-old grandson, has committed to play football at Cal, he announced on his Twitter page Sunday.
I've discussed with my family and I am blessed to say I am committed to California Berkeley!! #GoBears pic.twitter.com/MYXUvLDfkz

Ali-Walsh is a three-star running back who was also pursued by other Pac-12 schools such as Arizona and Colorado. He rushed for 2451 yards and 33 touchdowns in his junior year at Bishop Gorman High School in 2015.
The 5-foot-10 Ali-Walsh is the son of Muhammad Ali’s daughter Rasheda. The boxing legend passed away earlier this year at the age of 74 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Ali-Walsh is a member of the Class of 2017 and will be eligible to play for Cal’s football team in about a year’s time should he follow through with his verbal commitment to them.
