Oregon State names DJ Uiagalelei starting quarterback
Former Clemson starting quarterback DJ Uiagalelei has been announced as the starting quarterback for the Oregon State Beavers for the 2023 college football season.
Uiagalelei beat out redshirt sophomore Ben Gulbranson and freshman Aidan Chiles to win the starting job. Competition was there as Chiles showed a lot of signs of promise this offseason for the Beavers.
During his 2022 season with the Tigers, Uiagalelei completed 62.1 percent of his passes for 2,521 yards and 22 touchdowns with seven interceptions while also rushing for 545 yards and seven more scores. In his career, he went 22-6 as a starter, appearing in 36 games from 2020-22; he completed 59.8 percent of his passes for 5,681 yards and 36 touchdowns with 17 interceptions, to go with 275 career carries for 913 yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground.
We look forward to seeing what he can do with his new team.
