Ryan Bartow, a National College Football Recruiting Insider, broke the news via Twitter that 6’ 7”, 290 pound, Oregon State offensive lineman Will Hopkins has been granted a release from the school and is expected to pursue his options as a graduate transfer. The news comes at a brutal time for the Beavers program, who are already looking to replace Sean Harlow, Dustin Stanton and Gavin Andrews up front.

As the NCAA Baseball Tournament is on the horizon and sitting at 41-4 on the season, it’s easy to say that top-ranked Oregon State is hands-down, the best team in the country at the moment. To learn more about the Beavers, the official NCAA website pieced together this list of 19 tidbits about this season’s stand-out team.

After making some recruiting headway through his first two seasons at the helm, head coach Gary Andersen is hoping to continue the trend of luring top-level talent to Corvallis for years to come. The Oregonian decided to take a look around the Beaver State, at some of the top players that Andersen and his staff are targeting.

We’ve got gymnastics news people! The Beavers earned a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships this past season and while momentum is high, the Beavers are continuing to stockpile talent on their roster. As reported by Flo Gymnastics, Oregon State recently picked up a commitment from Florida transfer Lacy Dagen, sister of 2018 commit Madison Dagen.
