How many Oregon State football players entered the transfer portal this spring?
The Oregon State football exodus continued in April as more than a dozen of the Beavers' players opted to enter the transfer portal during the spring transfer window.
The majority of those players were not expected to see significant playing time in 2024 — with one notable exception. Damien Martinez, OSU's top returning player from last year's squad, departed Trent Bray's program in early April and has since committed to transfer to Miami.
The Beavers have not made any transfer additions this spring. In December, OSU made a plethora of noteworthy additions — including receiver Darrius Clemons (Michigan), defensive lineman Tygee Hill (LSU) and defensive lineman Tevita Pome'e (Oregon).
The college football spring portal window officially came to a close at midnight on April 30. Graduate transfers had one extra day to submit paperwork.
Here's a roundup of which Oregon State players opted to seek playing opportunities elsewhere this spring.
