Oregon State's Fresh Start | Oregon State Beavers Football News

Oregon State’s football team is firing on all cylinders with a loaded transfer class poised to make an instant impact, starting Saturday against Houston. Key newcomers include linebacker Dylan Layne — a team captain with 88 tackles last year at Idaho — and running back AJ Newberry, dubbed a “true weapon” by the OC and ready for his debut. Safety Harlem Howard has emerged as a standout in a thin secondary, while sophomore QB Braden Atkinson, Jerry Rice Award winner and Mercer’s all-time passing leader, makes his FBS debut after throwing for over 3,600 yards and 34 TDs. With receivers Aaron Butler and Aeryn Hampton also joining the mix, this revamped Beavers squad aims to shock the college football world — and their opener vs. Houston will be the first big test.
