THE COMMITMENT
East was originally offered by Oregon State a few weeks ago and quickly got on official visit scheduled with the Beavers.

East will join a receiver room that features Jesiah Irish, Anthony Gould, Silas Bolden, Jimmy Valsin, Trevor Pope, and freshmen David Wells, Zach Card, Tastean Reddicks, Montrel Hatten, and fellow CSM pledge Jayden Dixon-Veal...
With Dylan reporting during East's commitment that he's actually closer to 6-foot-3 rather than 6-foot-2, East would be the tallest receiver in OSU's room as the tallest guys (Pope & Valsin) sit 6-foot-2.
