  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

  Former Oregon State stars Ken Simonton and Mike Hass are among 78 FBS entrants on the 2021 College Football Hall of Fame national ballot that began distribution Tuesday. The Hall of Fame plans to announce its 2021 class early next year, with induction on Dec. 7, 2021 in New York City. The ballots go out to some 12,000 National Football Foundation members and current Hall of Famers.

Oregon State has four members in the College Football Hall of Fame in Terry Baker, Dennis Erickson, Bill Enyart and Tommy Prothro. Hass, who came to OSU as a walk-on in 2001, emerged to become an All-America receiver in 2004 and 2005. Following a 90-catch, 1,532-yard season in 2005, Hass earned Biletnikoff Award honors as the nation's top receiver. Hass was the first player in conference history to record three 1,000-yard receiving seasons. - The Oregonian

  Oregon State officially greeted Beavers athletes back to campus Monday, albeit with masks, gloves, testing equipment and physical distancing when possible. Athletic director Scott Barnes estimated that between 100 and 110 OSU athletes from various sports returned to campus Monday. That number will grow over the next several weeks to allow time for quarantine periods and testing for coronavirus. Barnes said it won't be until at least Thursday when athletes are cleared to take part in voluntary workouts at the school's Sports Performance Center. Since the campus was closed due to the pandemic in mid-March, Barnes said OSU had one positive test among athletes, but didn't specify the sport. Barnes said the school would provide updates when there are positive cases among its athletic population. - The Oregonian

  Hamilcar Rashed Jr. is like more than 80 percent of Oregon State's football roster, living far away from the Corvallis campus with athletic facilities closed due to the coronavirus outbreak. It matters little to the record-setting senior outside linebacker. Rashed leaves his mother's home in Chandler, Ariz. each morning with a workout mission. Rashed is either in the weight room or running hills near Discovery Park every day but Sunday. Some days, it's a double workout. Whether he's in Corvallis or in the Arizona heat of Chandler, a coronavirus outbreak or not, only one thing matters to Rashed. "Coronavirus probably shifts a lot of people's mindsets," Rashed said. "But me, my mindset is the same. I'm going to wake up every day, whether we have football or no football in the fall, and I'm going to do everything I can to prepare myself for that."

Rashed ended his spectacular junior season in 2019 with a thud, playing the final two games with a heavily-protected broken thumb. Prior to the injury, Rashed was as dominant as any defensive player in the Pac-12, racking up school-record highs for sacks (14) and tackles for loss (22 1/2). Rashed reports the thumb injury is nearly behind him; he only needs the seal of approval from a doctor's visit to proclaim it completely healed. In the meantime, Rashed said he's been able to go full out on workouts the past two months. Rashed, who opted to return for his senior year at OSU rather than take early entry into pro football, says he watched the first day of NFL Draft coverage in April. Rashed's day is likely to come next spring, particularly if he can continue the production of his junior season. - The Oregonian

  Oregon State football assistant coach Kefense Hynson has been promoted to the Beavers' passing game coordinator, head football coach Jonathan Smith announced Thursday. Hynson will retain his duties as wide receivers coach. "Coach Hynson's contribution to game planning on offense, and his creative ideas of attacking opposing defenses, has been extremely valuable," Smith said. "He has had a strong voice in our game planning the last two years and our wide receivers have developed and thrived under his leadership. I'm excited about his continued contributions and his new title is well-deserved."

Beaver wide receivers have earned four Pac-12 Conference postseason honors during his two years in Corvallis. Isaiah Hodgins finished his three-year career among the top-10 all-time Beaver receivers in multiple statistical categories, including second for touchdowns receiving (20). Hodgins earned Pac-12 first team and was a candidate for the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver. He is expected to be selected in this week's NFL Draft. The Beavers' offense in 2019 was among the school's best in the history of the program. OSU compiled its second-most points for a 12-game season with 374 and third-most total yards of offense for 12 games with 4,941. - Gazette Times

  A familiar face is returning to the Colorado quarterback room. Former backup Sam Noyer, who moved to safety last season and entered the transfer portal this winter, will remain with the Buffaloes and return to his original position, Buffzone has learned through multiple sources. A senior, Noyer is expected to compete for the starting job with redshirt junior Tyler Lytle and true freshman Brendon Lewis. After losing three-year starter Steven Montez to graduation and redshirt sophomore Blake Stenstrom to the transfer portal, CU had been down to two scholarship quarterbacks.

Adding Noyer back to the quarterback room allows CU to gain a veteran who knows the roster and knows the offense. Although the Buffs have a new head coach in Karl Dorrell, offensive coordinator Darrin Chiaverini is heading into his fifth season with the program. Chiaverini is returning to the play-calling role he had in 2018, when Noyer was a sophomore. Noyer, a 6-foot-4, 220-pounder from Beaverton, Ore., signed with CU in 2016 and spent his first three seasons with the Buffs as a backup quarterback. After redshirting in 2016, he appeared in nine games as a backup in 2017 and 2018, completing 21-of-41 passes for 179 yards and two interceptions. - Daily Camera

  Jake Luton looked sharp as he tossed tight spirals during the Oregon State football pro day. Luton and a good group of former Beavers ran through workouts in front of scouts from all 32 of the NFL teams. "I thought it went really well," Luton, OSU's starting quarterback last fall, said. "It was good. We've practiced going through this script a few times and so I thought we were all on the same page. I was real happy with it." A couple will get picked in the NFL draft in April. Others will get a shot through free agency. Luton and receiver Isaiah Hodgins were present and both players had already participated in the NFL combine. Luton was satisfied with his time at the combine. "I thought it well. It's always interesting when you're going with a bunch of new guys. It was fun," Luton said. "You kind of just got to let it rip and trust that those guys are going to be there. It was fun being with the best of the best. All those real good quarterbacks, getting to hang out with them. So I had a really good time." NFL draft projections have Luton going late rounds or possibly as a free agent. - Gazette Times
