  Sam Noyer is a fifth-year senior for the Colorado Buffaloes. After playing safety last year, he's returning to quarterback. When Sam Noyer put his name in the NCAA transfer portal last winter, he figured his time with the Colorado Buffaloes was done. After a coaching change and a few months of pondering his future, Noyer is back - although it's unclear when he'll actually be able to compete again because of the coronavirus pandemic pausing football until at least January.

During a virtual press conference Thursday, the fifth-year senior quarterback spoke to reporters for the first time since deciding to rejoin the Buffs in the spring to battle for the starting job. "I just felt like it was the right opportunity and the right time to compete with Tyler (Lytle) and Brendon (Lewis)," Noyer said. That was not on his mind last winter, though. "I had some other schools lined up and, to be honest, I really did not think I would come back to Colorado," Noyer said. - Daily Camera

  Oregon State junior Jaydon Grant is the Beavers' front man for the Pac-12 Football Unity, a movement by a group of players asking the conference for change when it comes to COVID-19 safety, race issues and revenue sharing. Grant told The Oregonian/OregonLive that he's "willing to sit" out part or all of the 2020 football season if their COVID-19 protocols aren't put in place for player safety. Asked how much support there is among Oregon State players for the movement, Grant said he would "only speak for myself, but I'm willing to stand on what I believe in. Yeah, I'm willing to sit if there isn't the right precautions, and the right protocols in place to where we feel comfortable and feel assured that our health and safety will not be compromised by the pandemic." Grant said he spoke with Oregon State coaches regarding his belief on this matter, even before it became public Sunday. "I didn't want them to feel like they've been blindsided," Grant said. "They've told me they're proud of me, told me they support me. They understand it's really not about Oregon State but it's about the system." - The Oregonian

  Few Beavers have a clearer path to a starting role than Jermar Jefferson. The junior running back is a two-year starter, who when healthy, is one of the Pac-12?s top offensive threats for 2020. During the 2018 season, Jefferson ran for a freshman school-record 1,380 yards. Last year Jefferson battled injuries, but still had moments on the way to a 685-yard season. With Artavis Pierce gone to the Chicago Bears training camp, Jefferson becomes the centerpiece to OSU's offense. Jefferson is a proven runner who only needs to improve his blocking and pass receiving skills to become one of the country's top running backs. - The Oregonian

  Members of the Oregon State football team were able to work out together at the school's facilities Thursday. The Beavers hit the weight room and completed training sessions with some parameters in place due to the COVID-19 outbreak. It was the first time since the pandemic hit that the players were able to work out with each other. "It was good to be back," redshirt junior quarterback Tristan Gebbia said. "It felt awesome to be back with my teammates. We were all missing each other." The athletes were tested for the virus earlier in the week. They went through the COVID-19 nasal swab test and had blood drawn. All test results were not ready on Thursday and information on any positive readings could be available as soon as Friday. "We all got tested a couple days ago and everybody in workouts (Thursday) didn't have COVID-19," Gebbia said.

Safety David Morris said he and some teammates already had a feel for the workout plan after making a trip to the facility earlier in the week. "We had to go through a whole extensive thing to even get into the facility," Morris, a redshirt junior, said, "So I felt really good having that kind of precaution just to even walk through the doors of Valley Football Center. "With the workouts, our strength staff was doing everything they can to make sure we're staying safe and I felt comfortable doing the workout and they got us always six feet apart and they got us wearing a mask and I felt good for our first day of workouts." - Gazette Times

  Former Oregon State football standouts Ken Simonton and Mike Hass have been selected to the 2021 College Football Hall of Fame national ballot. The ballot will be distributed to more the 12,000 members of the National Football Foundation and current Hall of Fame members this month after both individuals received enough votes by the district screening committee personnel to qualify. Simonton played for the Beavers under head coaches Mike Riley and Dennis Erickson from 1998-2001. He maintains the school record for rushing yards with 5,044 and at the time of his graduation was one of only six Pac-12 Conference running backs to reach the 1,000-yard plateau in three different seasons. The 2000 All-American was an integral part of the team that captured the 2001 Fiesta Bowl title. He rushed for 100-plus yards in a game 26 times and had three performances of 200-plus yards. He held 11 OSU records following his career. - Gazette Times
