WR Jamir Shepard visiting Oregon State today

In an interview with BeaversEdge.com a couple of weeks ago, Palo Alto (Calif.) wide receiver Jamir Shepard noted that he would visit Oregon State in April. He will be in Corvallis on Monday, as the 6-foot-2, 190-pounder announced the news on his Twitter page on Sunday. His high school quarterback last season was Jackson Chryst, who is a walk-on QB for the Beavers in the class of 2019.

"Man, playing with Jackson was unexplainable," Shepard previously said. "Just the way we connected and bonded with each other was so great. He’s a great guy and has a lot of talent."

On the men's hoops front, Oregon State is not done in the class of 2019 as they look to add a late piece from a "play now" type guy. Oregon State offered 6-foot-7, 205-pound wing Trey Wade recently. He signed with UTEP out of high school but ended up going the JuCo route. Wade played 34 games for South Plains Community College in 2018-19 and averaged 13.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists per game, while shooting 51.5% from the floor and 26.9% from behind the arc. Wade also has offers from the likes of Florida, Wichita State, East Carolina, and others.

RB Isaac Hurtado talks recruitment, Oregon State

Oregon State, San Jose State, and Washington State offered 2020 athlete Isaac Hurtado from Cypress (Calif.) last May. He's landed an offer from Colorado since then, bringing his offer total to four.

Hurtado is quiet on Twitter, totaling just nine tweets in the past 11 months, as he likes his play on the field to do the talking.

The 6-foot-3, 210-pounder is being recruited by Oregon State at running back and has talked with the Beavers here and there over the past several months.

"I've talked to their coach a few times since then. I've kept in contact with them," Hurtado said.

Oregon State first to offer Tanuvasa, visiting in April

Mission Viejo (Calif.) defensive tackle Keanu Tanuvasa finished his junior season without a scholarship offer. His patience paid off as his first offer came on February 5, and several more offered soon thereafter.

"After one happens, the rest fall in place -- like a domino effect," Tanuvasa said. "I was wondering when they'd come in, and then all of the sudden, Oregon State was first. It was fun to see it all happen."

In the class of 2019, Oregon State landed Akili Arnold and JoJo Forest, a pair of defensive backs from Mission Viejo H.S. Tanuvasa has been hearing from both future Beavers, as well as running backs Michael Pitre, about joining them for the next few years in Corvallis.

"Talking to them and Coach Pitre at the same time has been cool," said Tanuvasa. "Those guys are trying to convince me that it's home and that I should be going there, just like them."
