Musgrave has a lot of potential that he hasn't quite tapped into yet, and we're expecting a big senior season out of the 6-foot-5, 225-pound three-star recruit. Musgrave was largely an unknown commodity as a junior, but he exploded this summer, earning offers from Oregon State, Oregon, Cal, and others. He quickly made his commitment to the Beavers, and he hasn't looked back.

Russell isn't in the Pac-12 footprint, but OSU defensive coordinator Tim Tibesar already had a strong relationship with the three-star prospect, and Russell fits what OSU wants in a defensive back. Russell, who ranks as the No. 22 recruit in the state of Illinois, also held offers from Iowa State, Syracuse, UCLA, and Wisconsin.

Bennett's recruitment came together quickly, as he visited Corvallis in hopes for a scholarship offer and he received it, then his commitment came a few days later. Bennett has family that lives in Oregon and family that went to OSU. It's a school that Bennett always wanted to go to, and it also helped OSU's cause that Bennett has a longstanding relationship with running backs coach Michael Pitre. Bennett, who stands at 6-foot-3, will play nose tackle in OSU's 3-4 set.

Oregon State needed a junior college wide receiver to plug in and help balance out the scholarship numbers, and they got a good one in Clark, who is easily one of the top JuCo playmakers in the nation. Clark will come in as a junior with a redshirt year available next year. He also held an offer from Iowa State and several other FBS schools.

Franke's first offer was from Oregon State back in April, and Oregon State did a great job in the month of May making him a priority in their class. He committed in June following his official visit. At the next level, Franke is best suited as an edge rushing outside linebacker, but out of necessity, he's been playing defensive tackle for his high school. This is why he's overlooked as a recruit, but OSU found a gem here. Franke's brother is a defensive lineman for Colorado.

Speights is a bonafide four-star recruit and the brother of Oregon State defensive lineman Jeromy Reichner. Obviously, the family connection to OSU played a huge role in Oregon State landing the state of Pennsylvania's No. 6 recruit. Speights affirms that he's solid with Oregon State and won't be visiting other schools. He also held offers from the likes of Baylor, Duke, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, and Tennessee.

After Oregon State offered Erhart on May 17, the Beavers quickly became the favorite in his recruitment, and following his official visit in June, he made his commitment, which led the charge of four total commitments on that Sunday. Erhart holds a dozen offers in total with OSU being the lone Power Five conference school. He's a versatile linebacker and is expected to play inside to start his career.

Stover's commitment was a bit of a surprise just in terms of how low key his recruitment was. He's not a social media warrior whatsoever. He made his commitment to Oregon State in May and also held an offer from Cal. At 6-foot-7, 235-pounds, Stover has intriguing size, and when you match that with the athleticism he's already tapped into at Marshfield, you have one interesting prospect.

Gould is a versatile athlete who will be able to do a lot of different things -- return game, a rush attempt here and there, and does work out of the slot. Gould committed to Oregon State back in the spring. Gould is a speedster.

Hennessy committed to Oregon State while Cory Hall was the interim head coach, and he knew that there was a possibility that Hall would not be retained. That didn't matter to Hennessy though, as he always wanted to don the OSU orange and black. Hennessy is a good looking defensive end recruit for the Beavers.
