Bradley Bickler is #HALLin

Oregon State is making a run of commitments this week as they landed two commitments on Sunday and added another pledge on Monday.

The latest prospect to commit to the Beavers is Beaverton (Ore.) Southridge athlete Bradley Bickler. The 6-foot-7, 240-pounder was offered by Oregon State on Sunday evening and it didn't take him very long to make his decision.

"I love what coach Hall is doing with the program, and I really respect the coaching staff," Bickler told BeaversEdge.com. "I think [Oregon State] is headed in a good direction."

Bickler plays multiple positions, including quarterback, tight end, and defensive end. He is expected to come to Oregon State to play defensive end.

Bickler noted that he wasn't expecting the Oregon State offer to come on Sunday, but he has been on OSU's radar for several months.

"[Coach Hall] wanted to get me on board and told me how things are changing at OSU," Bickler said about his conversation when Hall offered him.

Interim coach Cory Hall has landed four commitments since Sunday afternoon, which totals about a third of OSU's current class.

Bickler has yet to officially visit Oregon State, but the under the radar prospect has visited OSU multiple times.

Bickler is committed to Oregon State's interim staff, but his commitment does not bind him to Oregon State. If the interim staff is not retained, the new staff would likely keep Bickler, but there's always a chance that they wouldn't honor his scholarship. There's also a chance that Bickler doesn't click with the new staff and decommits.

On Sunday, Oregon State landed commitments from Isaiah Tufaga and Craig Francois, and Keishon Dawkins, another in-state prospect, committed to OSU on Monday.

Bickler also holds offers from Weber State and Wyoming. Utah, Central Michigan, and others have also been expressing interest in him recently.
