Quarterbacks

Starter: Sean Mannion (2011-2014)
Mannion played in 47 games for the Beavers over the course of his four-year career, but is maybe most remembered for his stellar 2013 junior season, where he completed 64.6% of his passes, tallied 4,662 passing yards and totaled 37 touchdowns. That year, Oregon State finished 7-6 (with help from a six-game win streak after a stunning opening day loss to Eastern Washington) and eventually knocked off Boise State in the Hawaii Bowl.

Backup: Jake Luton (2017-2019)
A somewhat unheralded transfer from Ventura College, Luton’s size and potential made him more appealing than his actual game as a recruit, especially when he struggled with injuries and consistency early on. A breakthrough 2019 senior season in which he threw for for 2,714 yards, 28 scores and threw just 3 picks proved that when able to go, he was capable of greatness.

Running Backs

Starters: Storm Woods (2012-2015), Ryan Nall (2015-2017)
A total of 3,768 all-purpose yards as a legitimate rushing and receiving threat, few players brought to the table what Woods did for the Beavers in the early-to-mid part of the decade. A consistent play-maker, he’s one of my favorite players to ever don the black and orange. Nall though, is easily as beloved, with a brutal running style and 28 career touchdowns in just three seasons.

Backups: Jacquizz Rodgers (2010), Jermar Jefferson (2018-2019)
Rodgers gave the Beavers just one season in the decade, when he posted his third-straight 1,000+ yard year on the ground before bolting for the NFL. However, his gaudy numbers of 1,471 all-purpose yards and 17 total scores are mind-numbing. Jefferson is in similar shoes, as he’s run for 2,065 yards and accounted for 22 total touchdowns in two seasons as a split-time option.

Wide Receivers

Starters: Brandin Cooks (2011-2013), Markus Wheaton (2010-2012)
Ah, the good old combo of Cooks and Wheaton. In 2013, Cooks won the Biletnikoff Award and was a consensus All-American, shattering the Pac-12 record for receptions and receiving yards along the way, while Wheaton posted just under 3,000 yards for his career, totaling 21 touchdowns. On any given day, you could choose either one of these guys to be your top option. They’re two of the Beavers elite alumni.

Backups: Isaiah Hodgins (2017-2019), Timmy Hernandez (2016-2018)
Now in the NFL, Hodgins was one of the strongest receivers that Oregon State has seen since the previously…
