Oregon State is in good hands. Wouldn't be surprised if they make the playoffs or come pretty dang close. I'd just like to say they should've lost in Fresno if the kicker didn't miss two field goals and an extra loint😤😤
I've been a QBC for a number of years and the players I work with are usually around Chiles' age. He's so far ahead of the game it's ridiculous. His mechanics and footwork are immaculate, and that was a huge improvement from his HS Jr season. Whoever his QBC was did an amazing job. The arm strength and running ability do appear to above average at at the P5 level. His pocket presence and awareness are very good too. I think he'll play in very limited duty this season, they'll maintain his red shirt though. Also, I think it's important to not put the cart in front of the horse. In the spring game DJ and Ben were running against the 1s and 2s on defense (a VERY good defense), and Chiles was up against the 3s while having the 1s on offense to work with. He's very good for a freshman, but the spring game made it appear that Chiles was out playing DJ and Ben. I don't think that would be the case against equal competition. Chiles was also working with a simpler version of the offense than Ben and DJ. I'm really hoping DJ shows out come fall camp, but if not, it's good to know Chiles is there and can bring his talent to the field if needed. I'm also a pretty big fan of Ben too, and very happy with our QB room….we even have a Throckmorton.
Spring scrimmages are scary. If the offense looks good, I get scared about the defense. The opposite is true. I would feel better about a stalemate. These games are about boosters and getting media attention. What do you think?
No offense to Carter but Damien Martinez was the easiest call for any non casual beaver fan. Lemme try my hand at this years surprises.. Quincy Wright DT. Mathias Malaki-Donaldson Edge. I like Howard, Hickle and Collins as well.. dline is stacked. As for offense gimme both the tight ends, Jermaine Terry and Jack Velling go beebs 🦫
What does Bronny James going to USC mean? Do you think Galen Center might be packed every night could you make a video about this topic please
Send USC to the Big10 properly 😂
DJ quietly took the team down the field for a score . Beavs won the lottery.
DJ was 21-6 @Clemson as a starter. Cmon .
Ben's 7 -1 ,not bad at all . Chile's has 2 veterans to grow with and lean on. Ben and Aiden are 2 QBs that can push the competition for a new level of maturity and skill set that DJ
Brings to the TEAM!! First.
This is what Greatness embodies ,the whole,not the self. Dj raises the bar with his choice to be the very best he can be .And he picked Oregon state .Says it all for the culture and community and coaches in corvallis. GO BEAVS.DAM IT.
