He expressed his appreciation for the culture being built under first-year head coach JaMarcus Shephard, stating that he \"fell in love with the culture out there.\" Oregon State's resurgence this season, after finishing 2-10 in 2025, has seen them on a five-game winning streak and holding first place in the Pac-12. The team, currently ranked 4-3, will host Fresno State on Halloween.",
