DAY 2 NOTEBOOK: Via @Mitch Monge
https://oregonstate.rivals.com/news/oregon-state-football-fall-camp-day-2-notebook
- Newcomer Alex Austin might have had himself the top-defensive play of the day as near the conclusion of 11-on-11 work, he snared an off-target Nick Moore pass and returned it to the house for a would-be score. Austin is a guy that the Oregon State coaching staff has been quite high on coming from L.A. powerhouse Long Beach Poly, but to see him make an impact this early is impressive. Very similar to Nashon Wright on Thursday in the sense of having made a play that sticks with you for a while.
- Jaden Robinson had himself a solid day from the corner spot. Oregon State has been rotating secondary defenders on the regular here early in fall camp, but I was impressed with Robinson's physicality on the edges.
- After being announced by Smith and Co. post-practice on Thursday, Clackamas High kicker Jeffrey Nelson donned orange and black for the first time on Friday. It didn't take Nelson long to make an impact as he kicked field goals/PAT's and punted all in the same practice. Oregon State has been high on Nelson for some time now, and given that he showed a lot of promise for an 18 year old kid on day one, look for him to be a guy that could rise up the special teams depth chart. He's got the leg and accuracy to be quite solid.
- Running back BJ Baylor has really grown as a receiver in the offseason. There was one play in particular where he took a swing pass out of the backfield and juked out Shawn Wilson before earning a first down. Oregon State's got several really hungry and talented young RB's behind Jefferson and Artavis Pierce and Baylor is definitely one of them.
-Senior Receiver Aaron Short had himself a solid day as well as he made a standout play that caught the attention of receivers coach Kefense Hynson. During 11-on-11 work, Short secured a pass over the middle and fought off cornerback Jaydon Grant (who was guilty of some obvious PI) all the way to the sideline. The physicality and strength of Short to shed Grant and hang onto the ball was impressive and Hynson and the other receivers were certainly impressed.
- Offensive Line coach Jim Michalczik spoke about new addition Nathan Eldridge, noting that he's still working his way back into playing shape and that he'd likely see more reps with the 1st team in the coming practices.
- There were a couple standout plays made by the offense on day 2, and both came with Jake Luton operating the controls. The first was a beautifully placed fade route to Champ Flemings where the 5-foot-5 speedster managed to leave the Beaver defenders in the dust en-route a 50 yard catch. There's a chance he's still running folks... Big time speed from Champ.
- Luton's second big-time play of the day came via Jesiah Irish as Luton and he hooked up during offensive work (no defense). The fade route was perhaps a tad overthrown by Luton, but we got to see Irish's speed on full display as he was able to race under it and make an outstretched one-handed catch. The catch certainly drew oohs and aaas from the practice attendees, even so much so that an Oregon State staffer noted that there's probably five guys in the country that could make that catch.
- Here's a look at the first team offense and defense... Not a lot of changes from yesterday.
1st Offense
QB - Luton/Gebbia
RB - Jefferson
WR - Hodgins
WR - Lindsey
WR - Taylor/Flemings/Irish
TE - Togiai, Quitoriano, Smalls
LT - Brandel
LG - Lavaka
C - Keobounnam
RG - Cordasco
RT - Kipper
1st Defense
DE - Hodgins
DE - Reichner
OLB - Hughes-Murray
ILB - Smith
ILB - Roberts
OLB - Rashed
CB - Hayes
NB - Wilson
S - Hicks-Onu
S - Moore
CB - Dunn
- In terms of injury news, Trevon Bradford has shed his walking boot on his left foot and was doing some individual work with the jug machines on the side. Lindgren didn't tell us a lot in terms of his return to the field, but noted that the training staff has been pleased with the progress he's made. Again, I believe this to be a 100 percent precautionary measure and we'll see him on the field soon.
- David Morris and Jeffrey Manning Jr. were the other two players who didn't participate in the live session. Both guys were on stationary bikes with strength and conditioning coach Mike McDonald to start practice. We'll keep an eye on these guys in the coming days, but there's no reason to think anything is amiss. Likely just being precautionary.

Day 2 Nuggets from Slaughter - August 2nd
- Day 2 is in the books! After having mid 80's temperatures and sunshine on Thursday, Friday's practice was something from down south as it was quite cloudy and humid for the duration of practice. Despite the heavier air, it didn't slow down the Beavers as they came out with the same fire and intensity as day one. - Newcomer Alex Austin might have had himself the top-defensive play of the day as near the conclusion of 11-on-11 work, he snared an off-target Nick Moore pass and returned it to the house for a would-be score.
