One of Oregon State's bigger "wins" on the recruiting trail, Westlake Village (CA) defensive end Mathias Malaki-Donaldson is a player the coaching staff is very high on.

OSU officially offered the 6-foot-5, 220-pounder in April, and then he took an official visit to Corvallis in mid-July. From there, Malaki-Donaldson took a few more visits before making his decision official in late August.

He chose Oregon State over a bevy of suitors, picking the Beavs over Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Florida Atlantic, Florida State, Kansas, LSU, Michigan State, San Diego State, Tennessee, & USC.
