  Hamilcar Rashed Jr. doesn't want to make excuses, and nobody inside the Valley Football Center is going to let him. But it's no secret that the star linebacker hasn't had the type of season many expected when he announced he was returning to Oregon State for his senior season, and it's starting to become apparent that injuries are a partial reason. A first-team All-American last season, Rashed Jr. set school records with 22.5 tackles for loss and 14 sacks. One of the most disruptive defensive players in all of college football, he figured to be a one-man wrecking crew again in 2020. It hasn't quite worked out that way, though.

Rashed Jr. has recorded just one TFL and no sacks in four games. It came out a few weeks back that he battled multiple injuries during training camp and he's picked up another knock within the past two weeks. "I've gotta be better. Obviously there's a lot of things going on behind closed doors that not a lot of people know," Rashed Jr. "But that's no excuse for not making a lot of plays." Oregon State's coaches and players typically don't reveal much about injuries - coach Jonathan Smith likes to keep that information at a minimum. But when asked to elaborate on what he meant by "behind closed doors" Rashed Jr. was candid. "Honestly, I'm just a little banged up and stuff like that. It's been a grind of a year. But that's not really important right now," Rashed Jr. said. He dealt with thumb and ankle injuries early in the season and, according to defensive coordinator Tim Tibesar, didn't start to hit his stride until the week leading up to Oregon State's home matchup with Cal. - Gazette Times
