The Newbury Park (CA.) quarterback was once committed to Cal, but reopened his recruitment in February of 2019. The Beavers would enter their name into his recruitment in late April, and would receive his commitment less than a month later. Ben Gulbranson has great size, good mobility, a solid arm, and good head on his shoulders, all the things necessary to be a steal for Oregon State.

Played in 10 games as a senior, completing 182 passes for 2,814 yards and 29 touchdowns. Also ran the ball 75 times for 248 yards and six scores.

Twenty offers is not something you will often come across, but is the reality when you are speaking of Dallas (TX.) wide receiver commit Zeriah Beason. Beason officially visited Oregon State with Ben Gulbranson in May, and made his commitment only a couple days after. The Beavers had to battle with at least two schools from every power five conference for his services, so Beason made an instant impact on the 2020 class and has proven to be one of the more vocal recruiters in the class so far.

Caught 24 passes for 270 yards for Duncanville in 2018. Helped lead Duncanville to the 2019 Texas 6A Division 1 State Championship Game.

The first of two commitments on the 21st, Roseville (CA.) tight end Tommy Spencer made his pledge to Oregon State less than three weeks after picking up his offer. Despite another coming in from Fresno State shortly after, Spencer locked his recruitment down with a commitment to the Beavers. Spencer has good hands and a great frame for a power five tight end, and is one of the more underrated players in the class.

Caught 11 passes for 189 yards - a 17.2 yards per catch average - as a senior, tallying two touchdowns.

When Oregon State fans learned that Rancho Cucamonga (CA) receiver Silas Bolden had an offer, one question immediately came to mind. Is he Victor Bolden's brother? The answer is yes. The Beavers were able to effectively recruit Bolden by pitching the opportunity to continue a legacy, and although Bolden was planning a busy recruitment, things quickly were locked down after an official visit to Corvallis in September.

Tallied 1,239 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns as a senior.

Anaheim (CA) tight end Jake Overman's recruitment took longer than even he ever expected. After picking up an offer from the Beavs in December of 2018, Overman didn't waste much time getting to Corvallis as the first of three visits came in April. In June, Oregon State hosted Overman for his first official visit. The Servite standout thoroughly enjoyed his time, and many thought he was close to a commitment. As time went by, Overman made trips to other schools, but ultimately found himself realizing that Corvallis was home and shut his recruitment down in November.

Saw limited action in 2019 and made six catches for 75 yards to go along with five tackles and one tackle for loss.

Oakland (CA) cornerback Rejzohn Wright was on the recruiting board for a long time.
