Two 2022 Targets Virtually Visit OSU

Oregon State has shifted some of their recruiting focus to their 2022 class. There is still work to be done for 2021, but the relationships are already being built early on with members of the next class up.

Depending on when the NCAA recruiting dead period is lifted, virtual visits via Zoom, FaceTime or something of the like could be the only way that players see the schools that have offered them.

On Monday, Corona (CA) defensive back Jaden Mickey and Monument (CO) offensive lineman Connor Jones got the chance to virtually visit Corvallis.
