Bryson Beaver's first run through the tunnel as an Oregon Duck is just 10 months away.

The four-star senior from Vista Murrieta High School in Vista Murrieta, California committed to the Ducks in June over Alabama, Ole Miss, Colorado, LSU and Auburn after decommitting from Boise State on June 12. He finished third at the Elite 11 Finals this summer, jumping from a relatively unknown prospect to the No. 14 quarterback and the No. 198 recruit in the 247Sports Composite for 2026.

"I'm looking for a school that's going to develop me," Beaver said. "Help me become a better quarterback and person overall. And ultimately get to the NFL."

A 3.8 student, Beaver is in third year starting for the Broncos. Over his first two he threw for 5,764 yards and 59 touchdowns in 23 games.

He's taken his game to a new level as a senior. In an August win over Great Oak he completed 24-34 passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns to spark a 47-25 win over their longtime rival. After missing on his first two attempts, the 6-3, 200 gunslinger connected on 16 of his next 17.

His still maturing physically while working part of the time with quarterback tutor Akili Smith Sr. Beaver has room to grow--he wears a size 13 shoe.
