After just one season in Corvallis as Oregon State's starting quarterback, DJ Uiagalelei has entered the transfer portal.
The 6-foot-4, 252-pounder announced on Christmas Eve 2022 that he was joining the program after beginning his career at Clemson. The former five-star recruit was the highest-ranked player to ever join Oregon State's program.
He led the Beavers to an 8-4 campaign in 2023, going 180-for-315 (57.1%) for 2,638 yards and 21 touchdowns against seven interceptions. He also added 68 carries for 219 yards and six touchdowns on the ground...
"I want to start by thanking the Beavers' passionate and unbelievable fan base and how supportive you've all been with open arms. I am grateful for the opportunity to grow as a football player and a person with this program. My brothers, I am forever thankful for the relationships we've built since I've been here," Uiagalelei said.
"I want to thank Coach Smith for believing in me, Coach Lindgren, and Coach Boyer and the rest of the coaching staff for developing me into a better football player. Above all, I want to thank god for giving me all the opportunity to come here and continue living my dreams. With that being said, I've entered my name into the transfer portal."
With fellow quarterback Aidan Chiles also mulling over his future, the Beavers find themselves thin at quarterback with just Travis Throckmorton and Ben Gulbranson as scholarship QBs on the roster outside of those two. The Beavers do not have a freshman incoming quarterback in the 2024 recruiting class...
