Allen is Cal's all-time leader with 205 receptions, while ranking third with 2,570 receiving yards and seventh with 17 touchdown catches. In addition to being Cal's all-time leader in receptions, Allen has a school record along with his brother and former Cal quarterback Zach Maynard for the longest pass play in school history when the pair connected for a 90-yard score at Washington in 2011. His 13 catches against USC in 2011 is tied for third on Cal's all-time single-game reception list, while his 197 receiving yards at Washington the same season is fifth. In addition, he equaled DeSean Jackson as the fastest player in Cal history to reach both 1,000 career receiving yards in his 16th game vs. Utah and 100 career receptions in his 18th contest against Washington State, both in 2011. Jackson reached both respective marks in 2006 in the same number of total games in his career.
Allen totaled 3,458 all purpose yards to rank just outside the school's all-time top 10, adding 30 rushes for 258 yards (7.7 ypr) and two touchdowns on the ground, 21 punt returns for 252 yards, and 18 kick returns for 406 yards. He caught a pass in each of the 33 games (29 starts) he played in at Cal from 2010-12 with at least two receptions in each of his final 29 contests, scoring 120 points on his 17 touchdown catches, two scoring runs and one punt return TD.
Allen's career was highlighted by his 2011 sophomore season when he earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors and was one of 10 national semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award after posting career and team highs of 98 receptions and 1,343 receiving yards that were both second on Cal's all-time single-season lists, while adding a career-high-tying six touchdown catches. His averages of 7.54 receptions and 103.31 receiving yards per game ranked second and fourth in the Pac-12, while checking in at 11th and 10th nationally, respectively. He briefly led the nation in receiving yards per game for two weeks midway through the campaign and also got to the 1,000-yard single-season receiving mark faster than anyone else in school history in the ninth game of the campaign against Washington State. He also put up the two biggest games of his career with 10 catches for a career-high 197 receiving yards at Washington and a career-high 13 catches for 160 yards vs. USC, adding the 90-yard school-record touchdown reception from Maynard against the Huskies.
Allen was putting up similar numbers as a junior in 2012 as a national honors candidate before an injury suffered late in the team's ninth game of the season at Utah forced him to miss the final three contests. Allen, who was a first-team midseason All-Pac-12 choice of Phil Steele, still managed to earn honorable mention All-Pac-12 recognition and lead the team with 61 receptions, 737 receiving yards and a career-high-tying six touchdown catches, with five of the scoring grabs coming over his final five contests. Allen ranked third in the Pac-12 and 20th nationally in receptions (6.78 rpg), as well as sixth in the league and 37th nationally in receiving yards (81.89). He also was the team's top punt returner for the first time in his career and led the Pac-12 in punt returns, averaging 14.13 yards per return to rank eighth nationally with 252 punt return yards and a touchdown on 21 returns.
Allen posted one of the top seasons by a true freshman wide receiver in school history at Cal during a record-setting rookie campaign 2010 after coming to Berkeley as a five-star recruit that was one of the most heralded in the nation in the 2010 signing class. Allen was a fourth-team Freshman All-American selection by Phil Steele and an honorable mention Freshman All-American according to College Football News when he broke Cal's record for receptions by a true freshman with 46 for 490 receiving yards, surpassing Jackson's previous mark of 38. He also added a team-high five touchdown grabs and led the squad with a kick return average of 22.6 yards per return on a team-high 18 returns. He had one of the most memorable debuts in Cal football history in the season opener against UC Davis when he caught four passes for a season-high 120 yards, including a season-long 48-yard touchdown reception, while totaling 176 all purpose yards by adding 38 yards rushing and a touchdown on three carries, as well as one kick return for 18 yards.
Allen is the fourth Cal wide receiver in school history to be selected in one of the first three rounds of the NFL Draft and his selection is the highest by a Cal wide receiver since DeSean Jackson was chosen by the Philadelphia Eagles in the second round of the 2008 draft with the 49th overall pick.
Sean Dawkins is the only wide receiver in Cal history to be selected in the first round of the draft when he was taken by the Indianapolis Colts with the 16th pick overall in 1993. The other Cal wide receiver to be taken in the top three rounds is Wesley Walker by the New York Jets in the second round in 1977 with the 33rd overall pick.
Allen had one season of collegiate eligibility remaining when he declared for the 2013 NFL Draft.
Keenan Allen Quotes
Keenan Allen took part in a teleconference on Friday following his selection in the NFL Draft. Following are selected comments of what Allen had to say.
On being selected lower than many had projected and waiting to be drafted in the third round
"I'm not sure what happened. I wasn't that worried about when my name was going to be called, but I was just being calm and keeping my head up just waiting for my name to be called."
On being selected by San Diego
"If anyone was going to pick in me California, I was definitely hoping for San Diego just because of the atmosphere and the place that it is with great weather. The San Diego Chargers are definitely a great program, too."
On producing on the football field
"It pretty much comes down to producing on the field and showing everyone what you can do on the field."
On his career at Cal
"My three years at Cal meant a lot to me. I got to work with great coaches. [Former head] coach [Jeff] Tedford really progressed me as a player off and on the field, and put me in great position to make the jump up to the next level."
On the updated status of injuries to his ankle and knee
"My ankle is definitely 100%. My knee has definitely healed back to 100% but as far as strength and power I would say it's about 85-90%."
On whether being drafted lower than he was projected will motivate him to prove to teams he's better than they thought
"Being a third-round pick is definitely motivation for me. I want to get out there and show everybody I can play."
On his NFL goals
"I see myself doing well, definitely being a starter, trying to be an impact player. I want to make it a goal to be a Pro Bowl player."
On San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers
"Great thoughts, I know he's a great quarterback, a great leader. I'm definitely ready to get up under his wing, learn the offense, create that connection, have a 1-2 punch and just get it going."
Brian Schwenke (OL)
Tennessee Titans, Fourth Round, No. 107 Overall
Bio | Photo Gallery
Schwenke played in 48 games out of a possible 50 over his four seasons with the Bears and started 36 of 37 contests during his final three campaigns. Schwenke made his 36 starts at three different positions, with 16 at left guard, 12 at center and eight at right guard.
Schwenke earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors and was one of only five players to start all 12 games in 2012, making all of his starts at center in his first season playing the position. Schwenke added the Brick Muller Award as the team's Most Valuable Lineman on offense and a Cort Majors Team Captain Award also on the offensive side of the ball.
Schwenke started 12 of the team's 13 games at left guard as a 2011 junior after starting all 12 contests during his 2010 sophomore season, with the first eight coming at left guard before he was moved to right guard for his final four starts. Schwenke came off the bench in 12 of 13 possible games as one of only three true freshmen to see action at Cal in 2009.
Schwenke was one of two Cal seniors along with Anthony to start for a winning South squad in the 2013 Senior Bowl and was also impressive at the 2013 NFL Combine, where he ranked among the event's top offensive linemen in the 3 cone drill (7.31, T2nd), 40-yard dash (6th, 4.99), bench press (T8th, 31 reps of 225 pounds) and broad jump (T10th, 108.0"), with his bench press also tying for 14th overall at the event.
Schwenke is the second Cal offensive lineman to be selected in the NFL Draft in as many years following the 37th overall pick of Mitchell Schwartz by the Cleveland Browns in the second round of the 2012 draft.
Schwenke is the third former Cal player to be selected by Tennessee. The Titans selected tight end Lavelle Hawkins in the third and fourth rounds of the 2008 NFL Draft. Both players are still on the Titans' roster along with undrafted free agent and former Cal wide receiver Michael Calvin.
Brian Schwenke Quotes
Brian Schwenke participated in a teleconference Saturday following his selection in the NFL Draft. Following are selected comments of what Schwenke had to say.
On where he anticipated being selected in the draft
"It could have been as early as the second round or as late as the fifth round so I was kind of prepared for anything. The first center was taken at the end of the first round. You never know when it comes to draft day. A lot of teams had me rated higher than the first center taken so you never know. Things get kind of crazy on draft day."
On being selected by Tennessee
"I'm just happy I'm in Tennessee. If I could have picked a team, that's who I would have picked."
On his prospects with Tennessee
"I was talking with them when I was there and they believe I can be the starting center next year. That's what they told me and that's what I look to do. Of course, the position is not going to be handed to me. I have to earn it. There's a lot of offense to learn and techniques to learn as well. I look forward to the challenge, and I'm excited to get out there."
On his time at Cal
"I've grown up a lot since I started going to Cal. In fact, I feel like I've changed completely as a person. I was pretty young and wasn't always the most organized when I got there, but being a student-athlete, having to do the schoolwork and show up to football on time, now I'm never late to anything. I can actually say that. I'm always 15 minutes early. Cal taught me everything I know and made me who I am today. I couldn't have been more blessed to have gone there, gotten my degree there in three and a half years and have a personally successful career. Things could have gone better in the end, but I enjoyed every minute of it, and I wouldn't change it."
On his reaction to a comment made by ESPN's Todd McShay that "Tennessee just got the nastiest, toughest offensive lineman that I watched on tape all year long"
"I think he's absolutely correct. It's something I take pride in, in the way I play. I enjoy playing nasty. I think it makes the game of football fun, and I think that's how it's supposed to be played."
Steve Williams (CB)
San Diego Chargers, Fifth Round, No. 145 Overall
Bio | Highlights | Photo Gallery
Williams played in all 37 games possible with 28 starts during the final three seasons of his four campaigns at Cal from 2009-12. His 25 career pass breakups rank sixth in school history. In addition to his spot in the school's career record book for pass breakups, Williams posted career totals of 150 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss (-22 yards), 1.0 sack (-2 yards), six interceptions that he returned for 45 yards, 31 passes defended and three forced fumbles.
Williams had his strongest campaign as a 2012 junior when he was named the team's Most Valuable Back on the defensive side of the ball and also earned honorable mention All-Pac-12 recognition from both the league's coaches and Phil Steele. Williams started all 12 games at cornerback and shared the club's lead with a career-high three interceptions, while his 10 pass breakups and career-high-tying 13 passes defended were both team highs, with the latter ranking fifth in the Pac-12 with a per-game average of 1.08 and his interception average of 0.25 per game ranking tied for 13th in the conference. He was also third among all Cal players with a career-high 80 tackles and tied for 15th in the Pac-12 with and an average of 6.67 stops per game. Williams added a career-high 7.0 tackles for loss (-18 yards) to rank fourth on the club and had one forced fumble. He was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for the lone time in his career after recording a career-high and game-high four pass breakups, an interception and a team-high six tackles in a victory at Washington State. He started the season with a career-high and team-high-tying 12 tackles against Nevada.
Williams became a full-time starter as a sophomore in 2011 when he made all 13 starts at cornerback and posted 44 tackles to rank sixth on the club and first among cornerbacks. He also tied for first on the team with two interceptions and a career-high-tying 13 passes defended, while ranking second with 45 interception return yards and a career-high 11 pass breakups, tying for ninth on the school's all-time single-season list in the latter. He was fifth in the Pac-12 with a per-game average of 1.00 passes defended per game.
Williams made his debut at Cal as a redshirt freshman in 2010 when he played in all 12 games with three starts, totaling 26 tackles, 1.0 tackle for loss (-2 yards), 1.0 sack (-2 yards), an interception, four pass breakups and a forced fumble.
Williams redshirted as a true freshman in 2009.
Williams participated at the 2013 NFL Combine, where he ranked among the event's top cornerbacks in the vertical jump (T1st, 40.5"), broad jump (T4th, 108.0"), 20-yard shuttle (8th, 4.10), 40-yard dash (T9th, 4.42) and 3 cone drill (T12th, 6.89). His vertical jump tied for third among all combine participants. Williams also caused a stir when his 40-yard dash time was originally recorded in a hand-timed 4.25 that was .01 second off the electronically-timed official combine record of 4.24 posted by Chris Johnson in 2008. The time was later adjusted to 4.42 electronically.
Williams is the first Cal cornerback to be selected in the draft since Daymeion Hughes was picked by the Indianapolis Colts in the third round in 2007.
Williams is the fourth player in Cal history to be selected by San Diego, while Allen and Williams are the first two since 1976.
Williams had one season of collegiate eligibility remaining when he declared for the 2013 NFL Draft.
Steve Williams Quotes
Steve Williams participated in a teleconference Saturday following his selection in the NFL Draft. Following are selected comments of what Williams had to say.
On playing in San Diego and with Cal teammate Keenan Allen
"It's a great feeling. I'm excited to get down there and compete for a job. It's nice to know that Keenan's going, a player that I played with. I'm just excited."
On his motivation for leaving Cal early for the NFL Draft
"When I came out early I felt it was my personal situation with my daughter, taking her to the doctor and having to take her to social services to get insurance. Stuff like that was kind of distracting me from the school side. You know you've got to have full focus at Cal because it's an academic school. It was taking away from me, and I felt like the best situation for me was to come out."
On his opportunities with the Chargers
"I know that they needed a corner, and I was excited that they picked me. I really don't know how they're going to work me in and what position they want me to play there. Do they want me to play inside or outside? I feel like I can play both. It definitely depends on how the team wants to work it. I'm up for anything."
On his performance at the 2013 NFL Combine
"The combine was a good showing for me because I don't think many people knew who I was. When I got out there and ran a good time people where surprised, but I wasn't surprised. I've been running all my life. I was pretty confident in my running ability."
On his time at Cal
"Playing for [former Cal head] coach [Jeff} Tedford was probably the best experience of my life. I felt like he was the best head coach that I'd ever had. I just feel like playing in his system was the best for me. He had confidence that I could play, coach [former defensive coordinator Clancy] Pendergast had confidence that I could play, coach [former defensive backs coach] Ambrose and all those guys helped me get to where I am right now, and I really appreciated everybody at Cal."
On leaving Cal with one year of eligibility remaining to provide for his one-year-old daughter, Lia
"That was a big part of it. I just wanted her to be in a safe place and know that I'm there for her. That's all that I wanted. I know I can play football, and I'll continue to get better. I'm just really excited for her, too."
On the strengths of his game
"I'm a playmaker. I can tackle on the edge. I can make plays on the deep ball. I can intercept the ball. I can force fumbles. I'm looking forward to getting with some guys that can play around me at a high level, and I feel like I'll make more plays."
On whether he sees himself as a returner in the NFL
"I would definitely look into it and see how the coaching staff feels about me returning. I think I definitely could have that factor in the game."
On what San Diego told him they expected
"They told me they were calling me because they want me to cover guys, that's what we want you to do is be able to cover. That's how they summed it up to me. I know I'm a cover guy, so I've got to be able to contribute to the team in that factor."
On whether he was drafted higher than he expected
"I don't know. I didn't have a clue at some point. I didn't know where I was going to go. I was just kind of sitting back watching when they called me, but as the day was going by I didn't have a feel for where I was going, but I knew I was maybe in this kind of range."
Marc Anthony (CB)
Baltimore Ravens, Seventh Round, No. 247 Overall
Bio | Highlights | Photo Gallery
Anthony played in 41 games with 32 starts over the last four seasons of his five campaigns at Cal from 2008-12.

Marc Anthony Quotes
Marc Anthony participated in a teleconference Saturday following his selection in the NFL Draft. Following are selected comments of what Anthony had to say.
On the moment he received the phone call from the Ravens
"I was kind of anxious because it was coming down towards the end of the draft. Many teams were calling me with free agent opportunities. I had just got off the phone with [another] team and had seen that Baltimore was calling. I just happened to look at the screen and see Baltimore had the next pick. When I answered the phone they said that they were going to use their next pick on me and asked if I was excited. I couldn't even explain how I felt at that point. I talked to [Baltimore head coach John] Harbaugh and another coach, and they expressed how excited they were to have me. I'm just anxious to get out there this upcoming weekend, getting ready to get back on the field."
On being selected near the bottom of the draft and being close to being the "Mr. Irrelevant" last pick in the draft
"Most people might think it's an embarrassing thing, but to me who wouldn't like being selected in the NFL Draft. There's so many football players out there that just wish to have this opportunity of being drafted. For those that think it's embarrassing, I don't know it's kind of weird but anyone would trade what they're doing to get drafted in the NFL."
On the plans for him in Baltimore
"Whatever I can do, most likely on special teams, I can go in and contribute any way. I'm going to go in there, learn the playbook, study the heck out of it, and whatever or however I can contribute that's how I'm going to contribute. It's not a huge deal for me playing right away. Just being able to contribute is all I need."
On his time at Cal
"Cal teaches you a lot. It was one of the most inspirational times of my life. It taught me how to grow up and deal with adversity. It taught me a lot because I come from a place that's nowhere close to Berkeley, so I got to see both sides of different things. With playing football and going to one of the best [academic] institutions it teaches you a lot about how to balance yourself with school and football, and just how to carry yourself as an individual and becoming a man. It taught me a lot about life."
On fellow cornerback Steve Williams also being drafted
"All my congratulations goes out to Steve and what he's done for the program. I hope he does his thing out there in San Diego, and I wish him nothing but the best."
The three-day 2013 NFL Draft consisting of seven rounds and 254 player selections concluded Saturday at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

• The selections of Marc Anthony in the 2013 draft mark the first time in school history that Cal has had two cornerbacks selected in the same draft. The last time Cal had two players from the same position taken in the same draft was in 2008 when wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Lavelle Hawkins were chosen.
• The selections of Williams and Anthony also mark the first time a Cal cornerback has been taken in the draft since Daymeion Hughes was taken in the third round by the Indianapolis Colts in 2007.

• Cal became the first Pac-10/12 team in 40 years to have two first-round selections in the same year that no other Pac-10/12 team had a single first-round selection when Jahvid Best (Detroit Lions, 30th overall) were both first-round selections in 2010. USC's Al Cowlings (Buffalo Bills, 5th overall) and Sid Smith (Kansas City Chiefs, 26th overall) were both picked in the first round of the 1970 draft, while no other Pac-10 team had a first-round selection.
• Cal's six players selected in the 2012 NFL Draft equaled the second-most in school history (also 1977 and 2008). The most Cal players selected in a single draft were the 10 chosen in 1952
