  Defensive tackle Jordan Whittley hasn't played a football game at Oregon State since 2019. He hasn't taken part in an official team practice in more than a year. Why then did Whittley put his name into the transfer portal and immediately find interest? Last week, the 6-foot-1, 358-pound seventh-year senior committed to Michigan. It's not like Oregon State couldn't use a large, athletic player to fill the middle of its defensive line. OSU coach Jonathan Smith says he likes Whittley. But because of weight and health issues, the team's medical staff declined to clear Whittley for practice. Smith said he was "surprised, but not shocked" that Whittley decided to move on.

Whittley came to Oregon State in 2018 as a junior college transfer, and a potential answer to the Beavers' issues along the defensive front. Whittley, who originally signed out of high school as a running back at San Jose State, got down to 324 pounds in 2019 and showed some flashes of a dominant defensive tackle. Injuries limited his playing time, but Whittley vowed prior to the offseason to get in great physical shape and show what he could do for the Beavers in 2020, and perhaps in the NFL in future years. Then came the pandemic. Whittley battled knee injuries, followed by ballooning weight. - The Oregonian
