With Trent Bray getting fired, plenty of interested eyes will be on Oregon State players to see who might be interested in transferring. Here are the five players who would receive the most interest if they entered.

LB Dexter Foster – Sophomore

  • 6-foot-3, 230-pounds
  • Portland, Oregon

Foster was an immediate contributor as a true freshman last season with 43 tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack. This season he has become more productive while also becoming a leader on the defensive unit with 52 tackles and three tackles for loss through seven games. While only a sophomore, he already possesses significant experience and has the size and athleticism that would draw plenty of attention.

WR David Wells Jr. – Redshirt Sophomore

  • 6-foot-1, 185-pounds
  • Lakewood, Washington

After redshirting in 2023 and seeing minimal action in 2024, Wells has become one of the top offensive threats for the Beavers this season. In seven games he has 24 receptions, 270 yards and a team-leading three touchdowns, while also adding a rushing touchdown. On top of that, he has become a big part of Oregon State’s special teams with 12 kickoff returns for 232 yards.

WR Taz Reddicks – Redshirt Sophomore

  • 5-foot-11, 195-pounds
  • Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Reddicks showcased his potential last season as a true freshman with 17 receptions for 222 yards. This season he has become a consistent receiving threat with 24 receptions for 324 yards in seven games. He had an especially memorable game against Fresno State this season when he finished with 11 receptions for 158 yards.

CB Sai Vadrawale III – Redshirt Sophomore

  • 5-foot-10, 191-pounds
  • Rohnert Park, California

Vadrawale began his collegiate career at Cal before transferring to Oregon State prior to the 2024 season. In 19 games with the Beavers, he has totaled 52 tackles, two tackles for loss, one interception and six pass breakups. He has shown versatility and playmaking ability during his time in Corvallis, Ore., which would get plenty of attention in the portal.

QB Tristan Ti’a – Freshman

  • 6-foot-2, 205-pounds
  • Pleasonton, California

The true freshman has not seen the field this season, but that wouldn’t stop schools from showing serious interest in the portal. While he committed last October, he was the only early commitment who waited until February to officially sign with the Beavers. At the time of his decision, he picked the Beavers over offers from Utah, Boston College, UNLV, Utah State, Colorado State, Appalachian State and others.
