The Oregon State men's basketball team and head coach Wayne Tinkle dipped into the international ranks to round out the 2024-25 roster with the addition of 6-foot-7 sharpshooter Liutauras Lelevicius from Lithuania.

The Beavers had an open scholarship spot available following guard Tyler Cochran backing off his commitment in late June. The Beavers are now full roster-wise and OSU's complete roster can be found HERE

Lelevicius is coming off a FIBA U20 campaign last summer in which he dominated averaging 18 points, four rebounds and three assists. He shot a quality 42% from the floor including a strong 36% from three-point percentage. He was also an outstanding free throw shooter, hitting 94% of his shots from the charity stripe.

Lelevicius brings considerable upside to Corvallis at guards where his size will give the Beavers a considerable size advantage but also strong efficiency on both ends of the court.

He's got the size at 6-foot-7 to play multiple positions, but he's a good ball-handler and can put the ball on the floor in addition to being a spot-up shooter. We expect him to start his career in the Beavers' backcourt, joining DaJohn Craig, Nate Kingz, Josiah Lake, Damarco Minor, & Jaquavis Williford.
