Former Boise State quarterback pledge commits to Oregon Ducks

Fast-forward two months, and the Vista Murrieta (California) product has flown up the recruiting rankings following his decommitment from Boise State. Beaver, now a four-star prospect, is up to the No. 29 overall recruit in California for the class of 2026 and the No. 17 quarterback prospect nationally. 

Beaver announced his commitment to Oregon and head coach Dan Lanning earlier this week. Beaver held offers from Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss and numerous others. 

“Confident passer with surprising escape powers that’s willing to challenge both man and zone coverage at all three levels,” 247Sports director of scouting Andrew Ivins wrote in a recent evaluation of Beaver. “Looks the part with an athletic frame. … Can drive the football with both pace and touch to the intermediate level and win with anticipatory throws. 

“Effective on sprint/roll outs as he has proven to be rather accurate on the move and will drop the elbow to generate torque. Finds ways to get out of sacks and will extend plays with his creativity as he spins away from defenders. Can get caught trying to do a little too much at times, but a hunt-or-be-hunted mindset can be hard to find in a young signal caller. Needs to improve as a deep-shot taker and keep progressing as a decision-maker, but should be viewed as a late-bloomer that has the tools to eventually emerge as a trusted starter.”

The Broncos have commitments from a pair of three-star class of 2026 quarterbacks: Tradon Bessinger of Utah’s Davis High School and Jackson Taylor of California’s Thousand Oaks High School.
