QB Gevani McCoy brings a high floor and ceiling to Corvallis
On Thursday, Oregon State helped answer their questions at quarterback by picking up a transfer portal commitment from Idaho Vandals signal caller Gevani McCoy. The California native comes to Corvallis after spending three seasons with the Vandals including the last two where he helped lead the Vandals back into relevancy alongside head coach Jason Eck.
Below, we take a look at what McCoy brings to the Beavers.

PRODUCTION, PRODUCTION, PRODUCTION
As Brendan and I recently compared it to, Oregon State right now is playing the college football version of Moneyball.

McCoy fits the model of looking for production, the 2022 Jerry Rice Award winner was fantastic the last two seasons for Idaho, completing a combined 433-of-651 passing attempts for 5,6454 yards, 42 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. He also had 286 rushing yards and five additional touchdowns on the ground.
Very few quarterbacks in the transfer portal whether they're from the FBS or FCS levels had that level of production.
