12/24/20 - Hamilcar Rashed Jr., rSr/2021, Oregon State + More +

Hamilcar Rashed Jr.'s Oregon State career has come to an end. On Tuesday, Rashed announced on social media that he will forgo playing one more season for the Beavers and will enter the 2021 NFL Draft. In 2019, Rashed delivered one of the greatest seasons ever by an Oregon State player. He set school records with 14 sacks and 22.5 tackles for loss and was named a first team All-American. He was slowed by injuries this fall and finished the year with 15 tackles, two tackles for loss and no sacks.

Even though he was a senior, Rashed would have been eligible to return to the Beavers in 2021 because all Division I fall athletes were granted an extra year of eligibility by the NCAA due to the coronavirus pandemic. Rashed was expected to be selected in the first or second round if he had entered the draft at the end of the 2019 season. Several recent mock drafts have him projected to go in the second or third round. - Gazette Times

12/24/20 - *Jermar Jefferson, Jr/2021, Oregon State + More +

Jermar Jefferson likely played his final Oregon State game against Arizona State, as the junior running back is expected to enter his name in the 2021 NFL draft. Where is Jefferson's place in the history of OSU running backs? Clearly there are five contenders, between Jefferson, Ken Simonton, Jacquizz Rodgers, Steven Jackson and Yvenson Bernard. In another era, perhaps Bill Enyart makes it six.

It's hard to deny Simonton the top spot. He is the school leader in carries, yardage and touchdowns. Simonton was a leading force in helping OSU escape its three-decade dark period. But who is No. 2? Of the top five, Jefferson had by far the best yards-per-carry average at 5.69. But if that were a leading indicator, then we'd have to consider Artavis Pierce (5.80 ypc) and Ryan Nall (5.76). Rodgers was a touchdown machine, scoring 46 over three seasons. By comparison, Jefferson had 27. Jackson was a physical beast who towers over the five. - The Oregonian

12/23/20 - Makiya Tongue, rSr/2026, Oregon State + More +

Since he took over as Oregon State's head coach, Jonathan Smith has shown an ability to bring top-end talent to Corvallis via the transfer portal. On Saturday, Smith and his staff struck again and landed a former top-100 recruit. Makiya Tongue, a wide receiver who spent his freshman season at Georgia before putting his name in the transfer portal earlier this month, announced on social media that he has committed to Oregon State.

Tongue, who did not play in a game for the Bulldogs this season, will have four years of eligibility remaining and will be able to play immediately for the Beavers. The Baton Rouge, Louisiana, native was ranked by ESPN as the 96th overall recruit for the class of 2019 and the eighth-best athlete in the nation. Tongue is the son of former Oregon State defensive back Reggie Tongue, who went on to have a 10-year NFL career. Tongue's commitment means the Beavers will have another talented pass-catcher among a receiver group that already figured to be plenty deep next season. - Gazette Times

Oregon State running back Jermar Jefferson practiced Wednesday and is cleared to play for Saturday's game against Stanford in Reser Stadium. Jefferson was among five players placed in COVID-19 protocol last Tuesday. Jefferson, who rushed for 675 yards during OSU's first four games, did not play against Utah. - The Oregonian

12/10/20 - Avery Roberts, rSr/2022, Oregon State + More +

Avery Roberts has been everywhere for the Beavers this season. He has 65 tackles in five games - that's 17 more than any player in the Pac-12. On Saturday, the junior middle linebacker was seemingly in on every play. He racked up a career-high 21 tackles. The school record is 22. So it was a bit surprising that when he was asked about his contribution after the game, he bluntly responded: "I played my worst game of the season." He explained that he simply "wasn't executing the way that he was supposed to" and noted that he missed some tackles. Maybe the game film will show that he is right. The Beavers got shredded by Utah's run game, for sure. Regardless, Roberts' response displayed the accountability that Oregon State's players have brought into every game this season. They don't want to rack up meaningless stats, they want to win. - Gazette Times

Smith also announced Monday that reserve quarterback Nick Moore has left the program. A redshirt junior, Moore never took a snap for the Beavers. He was in the mix for the starting job during training camp but lost out to Gebbia, and then was surpassed by Nolan for the backup spot. "Nick's decided to leave the program," Smith said. "That's actually been in conversation for awhile. He deeply wants to play this game and we wish him well." - Gazette Times

12/05/20 - Hamilcar Rashed Jr., rSr/2021, Oregon State + More +

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
