Another top-rated offensive player from the Oregon State Beavers is deciding to exit the program this spring. Shortly after star running back Damien Martinez entered the NCAA transfer portal, one of their quarterbacks battling for the starting position, Travis Throckmorton, is leaving in Corvallis, OR, in search of a new home for the 2024 campaign after entering his name into the portal.

Throckmorton played high school ball at Simi Valley High School in Simi Valley, CA, where he was a three-star recruit with an 85.7 recruiting grade. According to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, he was the No. 869 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle.
