As the calendar turns from July to August, Oregon State fall camps rolls back into action with the first day of camp on Wednesday. Here’s everything that happened on the first day of the session!

- First days are always really light. No pads, lighter drills, mostly just breaking a sweat. The position groups spent most of the day rotating around the field in light drills, aside from one seven-on-seven session and one 11-on-11 session.

- We suspected it coming into camp, but head coach Jonathan Smith confirmed during the post-practice scrum that the quarterback competition would be an open competition.

- Jack Colletto lined up in multiple places throughout the course of practice. The redshirt senior lined up at second-team linebacker, fullback, and a few reps at tight end.

- The 11-on-11 session was pretty stale. The quarterbacks struggled to get anything down the field beyond 10 yards. The defense stayed in their spots and didn’t really let anyone get downfield.

- Former Georgia Tech RB Jam (Jamious) Griffin got a couple of touches during the seven-on-seven period. Takeaway? He is one fast dude.
