The Bay Area has played an important role when it comes to Oregon State recruiting over the past few years as the need to continue to establish a firm presence once again in the 2019 class is a necessity once again.
With players on the current roster like sophomore wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins, redshirt freshman safety Trajon Cotton, and sophomore cornerback Isaiah Dunn all originally from the Northern California area, the Oregon State coaches are hoping to use those connections to their advantage with a few key prospects.
One prospect that had once been overlooked for quite some time picked up his second PAC-12 offer this past week as 5-foot-10, 182-pound 247Sports three-star athlete Giles Jackson from Freedom high school in Oakley, California received an offer from the Beavers on Thursday afternoon.
