  Draft Scout by Conference









  Four years into coach Jonathan Smith's Oregon State tenure, the Beavers have beefed up their football roster with 19 transfers from FBS or FCS schools. They're not just practice fodder, either. Fourteen come from Power 5 schools, including notable programs like Georgia, Penn State, Florida State and Oklahoma. Nine were former 4-star high school recruits. The 19 transfers combined to play 230 games and start 76 times at their previous school. Three earned an all-conference honor at least one time at their previous stop. The result is that as many as 12 transfers could start Oregon State's Sept. 4 season opener at Purdue.

Smith was a little surprised to hear that number, but on the other hand, not really. The transfer portal is a tool OSU has frequently used since it became a thing in 2018. "I will say, we were pretty aggressive once it got up and going," Smith said. "You think about a guy from high school who goes to a school, and that's not the right fit. The next time, the next place, it's going to be about a football decision. If you think about football, and coaching, style and play, we've got a lot to sell to guys." - The Oregonian
