The Oregon State Beavers lost a slew of players to the transfer portal after the 2023 college football season. Here’s a look at how prominent players performed at their new school in Week 7:
Aidan Chiles, QB, Michigan State: The former OSU quarterback completed 22 of 30 passes for 256 yards, one touchdown and one interception as the Spartans defeated Iowa 32-20 to snap a three-game losing streak. He has completed 108 of 182 passes for 1,468 yards, six touchdowns and nine interceptions this season.
DJ Uiagalelei, QB, Florida State: A disastrous season may be over for the former Oregon State starting quarterback. Uiagalelei underwent surgery earlier this month to repair a broken finger on his throwing hand and has been replaced by redshirt freshman Brock Glenn. Uiagalelei has been terrible for the Seminoles, completing 84 of 156 passes for 1,065 yards, and he has more interceptions (six) than touchdowns (four).
Sione Lolohea, DL, Florida State: The backup defensive end played 36 snaps and recorded four tackles as the Seminoles lost 23-16 at Duke. He has recorded 14 tackles and one-half sack this season for the disappointing Seminoles.
