The Skinny: Elu visited Corvallis in September, and after being offered by offensive line coach Jim Michalczik and the Beavers less than a week ago (Oct. 16th) Elu didn't take long to decide that OSU was the place he needed to be. Coach M played a big role in his decision.

The Skinny: Oregon State first got in contact with Shaw during his sophomore season, but one conversation was the extent of their communication until the end of his junior season. The staff began to turn up the heat this past summer and challenged Shaw to get on campus in five days. He did, the Beavs offered, and a month later he was committed.

The Skinny: Vincic was another long-time target for Oregon State, and one they definitely had to work hard for. The relationship was built up virtually before Vincic chose OSU over the likes of Cal & Utah, which were schools he visited after his official in Corvallis.

The Skinny: We first reported Oregon State's interest in Mack nearly a year ago, and it was over half a year later that he received his opportunity to play for the Beavers. After taking a visit, it was only a short amount of time before Mack pledged to the Beavs.

The Skinny: It was a team effort for Lopez as offensive line coach Jim Michalzcik, head coach Jonathan Smith, as well as director of player personnel Darrick Yray were able to create a tight relationship with Lopez, and it only got better once he got to campus for his first official visit. After taking another official to Cal and taking some time with his family to think, Lopez made his commitment to Oregon State official.

The Skinny: It wasn’t a full week before Throckmorton committed to Oregon State after his offer. Since then, the Beaver pledge has impressed at camps and likely would have seen a spike in his stock without an early commitment. He chose Oregon State over Florida Atlantic, Nevada, and Southern Miss.

The Skinny: Most people probably wouldn't have believed us if we said that Oregon State's first commit in the 2022 class would be a four-star linebacker from Florida, but that is exactly what the Beavers got with Jordan. Jordan has been committed to two other schools, but says that Corvallis is home. If the Beavs keep him on board until pen hits paper, this is a big win
