The Oregon State Beavers have their starting quarterback as former Clemson signal-caller DJ Uiagalelei has been tabbed as the starter per a source.

The 6-foot-4, 252-pound junior beat out the incumbent Ben Gulbranson, who went 7-1 as a starter a season ago, and four-star true freshman Aidan Chiles to win the job.

Based on everything we've seen from DJ this fall camp, the decision comes with little surprise as Uiagalelei had been the most efficient quarterback in camp. He looked extremely comfortable in the offense and had become more proficient at operating OSU's offensive scheme...
