Ahead of tonight’s game at Utah, Oregon State has announced that star running back Jermar Jefferson will be out. The news comes from Kerry Eggers, a sportswriter for The Oregonian and the Portland Tribune. Eggers has qualified that this is still an unsubstantiated report, so we are awaiting further confirmation.
A further report from Angie Machado, at BeaverBlitz, confirmed the report, and also added that Linebacker John McCartan would also miss the game. MacCartan has had four tackles and one interception this season. According to Machado’s report, Jefferson and MacCartan are both out due to COVID-19 protocols.
