THE COMMITMENT
This is a big commitment for a lot of reasons, and the one that stands out to me the most is the timing of it. Not only is it significant that it came after a win, but this is the earliest commitment I can remember the Beavs getting in a long time.
Oregon State was the first school to offer Jensen back in April. Arizona and Tennessee followed up shortly after.
Between the time of his offer and the day of this story, Jensen visited Corvallis three different times, but knew since his very first visit that Oregon State was home.
"Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. My first time down there I could tell it just felt like home. I knew from the start that I had to go there," said Jensen.
Since that visit, the 6-fooot-6, 215-pound tight end has built a strong relationship with the Oregon State staff, particularly Coach Wozniak and Coach Smith.
Jensen's most recent visit for the Washington game sealed the deal, and now the Beavs officially have their first piece of the 2023 recruiting class.

THE IMPACT
Tight End U continues...
Ever since head coach Jonathan Smith and offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren arrived at Oregon State, the emphasis on recruiting quality tight ends has been a top priority and on Monday night, the Beavers added another talented piece to the future in 2023 TE Cooper Jensen.
The 6-foot-6, 215-pounder will fit into OSU's TE room like a glove as his build and skillset are exactly what tight ends coach Brian Wozniak is looking for.
He's got the size to add more weight to his frame and become the elite-level run-blocker that the Beavers require their TE's be able to do.
