10/03/21 - B.J. Baylor, rJr/2022, Oregon State + More +

B.J. Baylor had 20 carries for 110 yards and two touchdowns, Everett Hayes kicked a 24-yard field goal as time expired and Oregon State beat Washington 27-24 on Saturday night. It's still relatively early in the season, but Oregon State's win combined with Stanford's upset of No. 3 Oregon in overtime puts the Beavers (4-1, 2-0 Pac-12) in first place. Oregon State snapped a nine-game losing streak to Washington (2-3, 1-1 Pac-12) and is 2-0 in conference play for the first time since 2013. Oregon State rallied for its fourth consecutive win after losing the lead in the fourth quarter.

A strip-sack of Oregon State quarterback Chance Nolan by Faatui Tuitele at the OSU 13 and fellow defensive lineman Sam Taimani's recovery and 13-yard run set up Sean McGrew's 6-yard touchdown run, giving Washington the lead at 24-17 with 10:02 left. Back came the Beavers. A 19-yard run on a reverse to wide receiver Anthony Gould, followed by Gould's 22-yard reception set up Baylor's 27-yard run to tie the game at 24-24 with 6:35 remaining. McGrew was stopped inches short of a first down on a fourth-and-1 direct snap run near midfield at the 3:18 mark. The spot was upheld on an official's review. McGrew's 39-yard touchdown run up the middle tied the game at 17-17 with 10:19 remaining. Dylan Morris' 18-yard pass to Kamari Pleasant on third and 18 deep in Huskies territory kept the drive alive. Oregon State gained momentum early in the second quarter. - Oregon State/AP College Football

08/31/21 - Sam Noyer, rSr/2022, Oregon State + More +

Oregon State will go with sixth-year senior Sam Noyer as its starting quarterback for Saturday's 2021 season opener at Purdue. Noyer, who transferred from Colorado in June, beat out fourth-year sophomore Chance Nolan for the starting berth. Tristan Gebbia, among those battling for the starting berth during the first two weeks of camp, is sidelined with a sore hamstring. Coach Jonathan Smith said the quarterbacks were told of the decision Sunday. "Throughout camp, I thought the whole quarterback room did a good job going back and forth. It was very close," Smith said. "Ultimately getting ready for a game week, felt like the best way to do it was make a decision on Monday so we can have a week of work with the game plan." The 6-foot-4, 227-pound Noyer played five years and 26 games at Colorado. Noyer earned second-team all-conference honors in 2020 after leading the Buffaloes to a 4-2 record. Noyer is a graduate of Beaverton High. "The overall feel throughout the body of work through camp and then headed into a game plan, we just felt like he has the best chance to let us score some points," Smith said of Noyer. - The Oregonian

08/20/21 - Luke Musgrave, rJr/2023, Oregon State + More +

On the list of wow players during the first five days of Oregon State's preseason football camp, there's no disagreement that tight end Luke Musgrave is an automatic inclusion. The third-year tight end from Bend has been a showstopper in the passing game, and emerging as a blocker. At 6-foot-6, up to 252 pounds with good speed, Musgrave is impossible to miss when the Beavers scrimmage each day. While it might be premature to project Musgrave as the seventh career 1,000-yard tight end at Oregon State, he clearly has that capability. "He's got himself in great shape. He's running really well, and he's carrying good weight," OSU offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren said. "The biggest thing for him is, he's always been really good in the passing game. It's the 50-50 balls with a big body that we're looking to see more of. He's done some of that. "He's going to be a big part of what we do."

Musgrave has been a camp standout with not only contested passes, but making a tough catch. There was a situation Monday when Musgrave went up high to grab a long pass over the middle, knowing he was going to get blasted. He made a fingertip catch, securing the ball as he hit the ground hard. "That one hurt. I still feel that one," Musgrave said. "You just have to accept that it's not going to feel great on the way down, but you'll get the catch, most of the time." - The Oregonian

08/17/21 - Isaac Hodgins, rSr/2024, Oregon State + More +

Oregon State junior defensive end Isaac Hodgins, the team's most veteran player in terms of career starts, had foot surgery Monday and will be sidelined for about two months. Hodgins hurt his foot midway through Saturday's practice. He left the workout on crutches, and didn't attend Monday or Tuesday's practice. Coach Jonathan Smith, who didn't specify which foot, said Hodgins' injury is "longer-term, so give or take eight weeks." Hodgins, brother of Buffalo Bills receiver Isaiah Hodgins and son of former NFL fullback James Hodgins, has started 30 of 31 games at Oregon State. Hodgins started his first game as a true freshman in 2018. He brought a streak of 28 consecutive starts into the 2021 season. The 6-foot, 274-pound Hodgins has 76 tackles, 9 1/2 tackles for loss and five sacks during his career. Hodgins was Pac-12 all-conference honorable mention last season. - The Oregonian

08/10/21 - Andrzej Hughes-Murray, rSr/2022, Oregon State + More +

Andrzej Hughes-Murray calls his decision to return to Oregon State for a sixth football season a "no-brainer." With a degree in psychology already in hand, he says there's more to be accomplished on the field, both individually and as a team, as he takes advantage of an extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA due to the pandemic. "I thought that I had a lot to build off last year," Hughes-Murray said. "I just wanted to come back and have another run with this team because I think we can do some great things." Oregon State made some positive strides in 2020 despite a 2-5 record, he says, but there's room for improvement.

A 6-foot-2, 246-pound outside linebacker from Federal Way, Washington, Hughes-Murray bounced back from a 2019 season lost to a serious foot injury in fall camp to make an impact for the Beavers last year. He recorded 23 tackles and a sack while starting five of the seven games. Of his four tackles for loss on the season, 3.5 were recorded in the home win against Oregon. Fourteen of his 23 tackles came in two games, versus the Ducks and California. "I'm really rooting for that guy. He's been through a lot, done some great things for us," OSU coach Jonathan Smith said. "You talk about the leader that he is on this team, the work ethic, the passion he has for the game. We're expecting to see big things, not just from his play individually, but his leadership on this group." - Gazette Times

08/06/21 - Sam Noyer, rSr/2022, Oregon State + More +

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

07/31/21 - Jaydon Grant, rSr/2023, Oregon State + More +

Oregon State defensive back Jaydon Grant has been named to the preseason watch list for the Wuerffel Trophy. Grant is one of 93 players on the watch list for the award, which recognizes college football players who serve others, celebrate their positive impact on society and inspire greater service in the world. Grant, a native of West Linn, has played in 32 career games for the Beavers, which includes 16 starts. He received all-Pac-12 honorable mention in 2020 after making 29 tackles with two interceptions and two pass breakups. Off the field, he graduated with a degree in digital communication arts in 2020 and has been active in the community, working with the homeless as well as a Night to Shine event, which provides a prom night experience for people with special needs. - Gazette Times

07/30/21 - Teagan Quitoriano, Sr/2022, Oregon State + More +

Starting tight end Teagan Quitoriano will miss at least the first two weeks of preseason camp because of a foot injury. Coach Jonathan Smith said Tuesday that earlier this summer, Quitoriano sustained the injury while running a route. Smith said Quitoriano should be ready to go by the end of camp, and he's hopeful the junior tight end can participate during the third week of camp. Oregon State opens camp Aug. 6, and plays its season opener Sept. 4 at Purdue. Quitoriano, a fourth-year junior, started all seven games last season, catching 14 passes for 185 yards and a touchdown. Quitoriano has career numbers of 29 games, 15 starts, 21 receptions for 298 yards and three touchdowns. The 6-foot-6 Salem native is particularly effective as a run blocker. - The Oregonian

Oregon State Beavers linebacker Avery Roberts was named to the preseason watch list for the Bednarik Award, which is given each year to the top defensive player in the country. The Maxwell Football Club announced the watch list on Monday. Last season, Roberts made a Pac-12-high 69 tackles, including 21 stops against Utah, on the way to being a first-team all-Pac-12 selection. A native of Wilmington, Delaware, Roberts has racked up 152 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks in two seasons with the Beavers. - The Oregonian

06/16/21 - Sam Noyer, rSr/2022, Oregon State + More +

Sam Noyer announced last week that he is taking his talents to Corvallis for the final season of his college career. In doing so, he added a new layer of drama to a quarterback battle that already had plenty to spare. Oregon State was rolling into the fall with at least three signal callers duking it out for the starting spot. Throw an all-conference grad transfer in the mix, and the Beavers suddenly have one of the more intriguing quarterback rooms in the Pac-12. Noyer, a former Beaverton High star who earned second team all-Pac-12 honors last season at Colorado while leading the Buffaloes to a bowl game, has the best resume out of them all.

After working through multiple quarterback battles early in his career - and converting to safety at one point before eventually swapping back to quarterback - he finished the 2020 season with 1,101 passing yards, six touchdowns and seven interceptions. With Gulbranson out, and Gebbia still recovering, Nolan, who started three games last season, would be the only healthy quarterback on the roster who has played in a college game prior to Noyer's arrival. Sam Vidlak, a true freshman who enrolled early in the spring, also took first-team reps in the spring. A source close to the situation told Mid-Valley Media that Gebbia has not been cleared to play yet, and that Noyer was brought in to add depth to the quarterback room and also push Gebbia for the starting spot should he recover in time for fall camp. - Gazette Times

06/12/21 - Sam Noyer, rSr/2022, Oregon State + More +

Oregon State's quarterback battle became much more interesting Friday. Sam Noyer, who went to Beaverton High and starred at Colorado last season, announced on Twitter Friday that he is transferring to Oregon State. "I'm home," Noyer said in a Tweet that featured a graphic of him in a No. 4 Beavers' jersey. Noyer, a 6-foot-4, 220 pound senior, will arrive in Corvallis as a grad transfer with one year of eligibility remaining. During his junior season with the Buffs, he garnered second-team All-Pac-12 honors and led them to a 4-2 season that included a trip to the Alamo Bowl. Noyer arrived in Boulder as a promising quarterback prospect before converting to safety his sophomore season in order to see more playing time. Prior to his COVID senior season, he switched back to quarterback and was one of the top signal callers in the conference. In six games, Noyer threw for 1,101 yards, six touchdowns and seven interceptions. - Gazette Times

06/11/21 - Sam Noyer, rSr/2022, Oregon State + More +

On Friday, CU's former starting quarterback announced that he is transferring to Oregon State. The Buffs are scheduled to host Oregon State on Nov. 6 at Folsom Field, fittingly for CU's homecoming game. On Monday, CU and Noyer announced his decision to put his name into the NCAA transfer portal, and it didn't take long to find a new - and very familiar - home. The move to Oregon State is a natural one for Noyer, who was born in Portland and graduated from Beaverton (Ore.) High School.

During an interview on Portland's 750 AM radio on Friday, Noyer said, "It's kind of a match made in heaven, really. "I've grown up here so I've known that Beaver Nation is awesome. I'm excited to be able to play in front of Beaver Nation next year." Noyer will be reunited with the man who recruited him to CU, Brian Lindgren. OSU's offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach for the past three years, Lindgren held a similar position at CU from 2013-17. During his time at CU, Noyer had four quarterback coaches in five years, with Lindgren being the only coach he had for more than one season. - Daily Camera

06/07/21 - Sam Noyer, rSr/2022, Oregon State + More +

Colorado starting quarterback Sam Noyer has entered the transfer portal for a second time to close a career in Boulder that included three head coaches and a brief switch to safety. Noyer led the Buffaloes to a 4-2 record last season under first-year Buffaloes coach Karl Dorrell and a berth in the Alamo Bowl. Originally part of the 2016 recruiting class under then-coach Mike MacIntyre, Noyer redshirted and then was a backup QB for two seasons before switching to the defensive side in 2019 under coach Mel Tucker, who is now at Michigan State. All set to transfer after the '19 season, Noyer was convinced to come back after Dorrell was brought on board. Noyer won the starting job out of camp and helped the Buffaloes to a 4-0 start, along with a spot in the polls. The Buffaloes lost to Utah in the regular-season finale and then Texas in the Alamo Bowl. - AP College Football
