Brendenby: Brenden.Slaughter01/04/26b_slaught

Oregon State defensive line coach Inoke Breckterfield, who was just announced as the Beavers’ DL coach on Dec. 17th, is now reportedly off to Utah per a report from Pete Thamel.

For the latest on Oregon State’s staff, check out our Assistant Coach Hotboard, and for the latest player movement, keep tabs with our Offseason Movement Tracker...

That means that new head coach JaMarcus Shephard will be searching for another defensive line coach to replace Breckterfield. BeaversEdge has some additional names to keep an eye on HERE.

Breckterfield played for the Beavers from 1995-98 and was a Third Team Associated Press All-American and won the Pac-10’s Morris Trophy Award as the top defensive lineman in the league, as voted on by the conference’s offensive linemen, in 1998.

He was previously the defensive line coach at Baylor, where he had been since the 2024 season. After serving on Kalen DeBoer’s staff for two years at Washington, he didn’t go with him to Alabama, instead opting to join Dave Aranda’s Baylor staff.

Before Washington, Breckterfield served as the DL coach at Vanderbilt, Wisconsin, Pittsburgh, UCLA, Montana, & Weber State after first beginning his coaching career with the Beavers as a volunteer and eventually, a GA. Breckterfield has coached several notable names during his tenure, including Aaron Donald at Pitt & T.J Watt at Wisconsin.
