Seumalo to NFL

As reported on BeaverBlitz.com on Sunday afternoon, offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo has decided to forego his senior season at Oregon State and enter the NFL Draft.

Seumalo, a four-star recruit from Corvallis, Oregon missed the entire 2014 season due to injury. He had 37 career starts at Oregon State, where he played center, right guard and right and left tackle.

Statement from Seumalo

“After careful consideration and talking with my family I have decided to forego my senior season at Oregon State and enter the 2016 NFL Draft. Corvallis has been home to my family since I was in seventh grade, and attending Oregon State and playing football for the Beavers has been an honor and a privilege.

The opportunity to play in the NFL has been a childhood dream for me, and I feel Oregon State has prepared me well to take this next step and embrace the challenge. I intend to make the University and all of its supporters proud of my effort to represent them well.

I want to thank Oregon State for an incredible education, and the community of Corvallis for the great support of Beaver football. I am forever grateful for the football and strength coaches that were put into my life and helped me become the man and player I am today.

I also want to give a special thank you to the training and recovery staff that helped me during the health battles I suffered through my career. To my teammates, you are the reason this decision was so hard to make. You are family to me and I am humbled to have been on this journey with each of you.
