Mitch Canham, new Head Coach for the Beavers, holds up the championship trophy after winning it as a player.

The date, time and TV listings for the NCAA Baseball Selection Show has been announced, as the Beavers path for the post-season will be revealed on Monday, May 29th at 9:00 AM PT on ESPN2. For those in the Corvallis area, there will be a “Selection Show Watch Party” at Reser Stadium, starting thirty minutes prior to the unveiling.

Former Oregon State star and Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Jacquizz Rodgers is slimming down to prepare for the 2017 NFL season, having already lost six pounds and adding a burst of speed to his game in the process, according to CBS Sports. Rodgers is hoping to find some consistent touches in a Tampa Bay backfield consisting of Doug Martin, Charles Sims and Jeremy McNichols.

In some interesting professional football news, it was recently announced that former Oregon State defensive lineman Dylan Wynn has signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL). Wynn, who spent some time with the Cleveland Browns over the past few seasons, had a stellar career with the Beavers, in which he totaled 214 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 8 fumble recoveries and 3 forced fumbles.

The former “MaxPreps High School Female Athlete of the Year”, Mikayla Pivec has made a name for herself on the Beavers hardwood as a stand-out for the women’s basketball team. However, she also has some serious skills in the world of track and field as well, as one of the best pure athletes on the Corvallis campus. Gina Mizell of the Oregonian details Pivec’s newest athletic endeavors and how her new sport could help her going forward.

Head women’s basketball coach Scott Rueck has won 90 games over the past three seasons at Oregon State and looking ahead to the 2017-2018 campaign, Rueck doesn’t see the Beavers taking a step backwards, even with star Sydney Wiese now in the WNBA. BeaversEdge was lucky enough to compose a quick “Q & A” with the coach, about what the future of the women’s basketball program holds in store.
