Oregon State Beavers NFL Draft Prospects

Oregon State bottomed out at 2-10 in 2025, a second straight lost season in the wreckage of the old Pac-12, and the response was a full reset. JaMarcus Shephard arrives in Corvallis for his first year as a head coach, bringing Washington and Alabama pedigree and a reputation as a relentless recruiter and motivator. He inherits a roster thin on continuity and stocked with transfers, and the early verdict around the league is that the Beavers face an uphill battle on talent even as the new man raises the floor on culture.

Shephard hired Mitch Dahlen as offensive coordinator, another product of the DeBoer coaching tree who helped run Washington's prolific 2023 passing attack and Alabama's offense the past two years. The rebuild leans on him to modernize a unit that finished near the bottom of the league in scoring.
