Rated by 247Sports as a 3-star, the 6-foot-4, 234-pound pass-catcher, out of Dorsey High School in Los Angeles, California, made his verbal commitment to Oregon State on August 9th and has been the ringleader when it comes to peer recruiting to try and convince other recruits to join him to Corvallis next season. Smalls chose the Beavers over offers from Arizona, Arizona State, California, Colorado State, Fresno State, Oregon, Purdue and several others.
Isaiah has experienced three different coaching changes while remaining committed to Oregon State and is to be commended by Beaver fans for his loyalty.
