Under Gary Andersen, the Oregon State Beavers have made major strides on the defensive side of the ball and improved their offensive weapons, highlighted by a backfield that will showcase Ryan Nall, Thomas Tyner, Trevorris Johnson and Artavis Pierce this fall.
Quarterback remains the question mark, as Marcus McMaryion and junior college transfer Jake Luton are fighting for the starting job.
Similarly, Oregon State has had success adding impact playmakers at several spots on both sides of the ball.
But quarterback has remained a soft spot.
That may have changed Monday afternoon, as Oregon State added 247Sports three-star quarterback Spencer Petras, who committed to the Beavers over offers from Cal, Fresno State, Louisville, Nevada, San Diego State, Wyoming and others.
