I'm Cory with the story.

The Chargers got their top three running backs locked in for 2026.

But they still scouting the draft class hard.

Word is, they hosting Jaden Ahton, that former Kalan Oklahoma back, for a visit this Thursday.

Due to about to head to the Bengals after that, so team circling him early.

Op burst on the scene as a freshman at Cal, piling up 897 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns.

He snad 46 catches for 345 yards and 3 more scores.

Then sophomore year, he leveled up big with 1,315 rushing yards, 12 touchdowns, plus receiving

production that got him first team all, Pac-12 nods.

But things did to his junior year at Cal, only 116 carries for 387 yards, averaging

just 3.3 yards, per carry and 4 touchdowns.

That was rough after back to back 5.3 averages, fans and scouts scratching heads on the drop-off.

He transferred to Oklahoma aiming for the starting spot, but injuries hit hard.

Played just 7 games, 68 yards on 21 carries, no scores.

Still, he flashed at the senior bowl and pro day, keeping day 3 draft buzz alive.

Others might see him as a late round steal or depth art throw smart homework either way

as they build that backfield depth.
