Oregon State's football exodus continued in April, with more than a dozen Beavers players choosing to enter the transfer portal during the spring transfer window.
The majority of these players were not expected to see significant playing time in 2024, with one notable exception. Damian Martinez, OSU's top returning player from last year's team, left Trent Bray's program in early April and has since committed to Miami.
The Beavers have not made any transfer reinforcements this spring. OSU made a number of notable acquisitions in December, including receiver Darius Clemons (Michigan), defensive lineman Tysey Hill (LSU) and defensive lineman Tevita Pomey (Oregon).
College football's spring portal window officially ended at midnight on April 30th. Graduate transfer students were given an additional day to submit their documents.
Here's a roundup of Oregon State players who have opted to pursue playing opportunities elsewhere this spring.
