Oregon State opened fall camp Wednesday morning at Reser Stadium with more than a dozen newcomers, several significant weight changes and a nearly fully healthy roster
Nearly all the players who missed the spring game due to injury were participating during Wednesday’s practice, including offensive lineman Tyler Voltin and linebacker Aiden Sullivan
“Those two guys are ready to rock and roll,” Oregon State coach JaMarcus Shephard said after practice. “I think they’re going to run through a brick wall for this football team — I know they will.”
Starting defensive tackle Jacob Schuster was among the players who were out, but Shephard said he “should be good to go at this point.” Safeties Sean Craig and RJ Whitten and cornerback Noble Thomas Jr. were limited due to what Shephard attributed to “maintenance.”
Receiver Adonis McDaniel, who tore his Achilles in the winter, was initially expected to miss the season but is making “a ton of progress,” and may not be ruled out entirely

Several players made significant changes in weight during the offseason, with big gains by multiple defensive backs, receivers and offensive linemen and also some big losses by offensive linemen
Cornerback Kai Wheaton added 14 pounds, safety Sean Craig and cornerback TJ Crandall each gained 10 pounds and safety Harlem Howard and cornerback Trey Glasper each added nine
Receivers Ross Nickson (13), Cynai Thomas (11) and Jameson Powell (10) each gained as well
Offensive lineman Jake Normoyle (35), Teko Shoats (20) and Frankie Petuya (16) added weight while Peter Langi (48), Voltin (15) and tackles Josiah Timoteo and Will Larkins (12 each) dropped weight. Defensive lineman Jacob Schuster (30) also dropped a lot of weight
Schuster, who was among the players out of Wednesday’s practice, and the offensive linemen who lost significant weight was by design to improve muscle mass
Shephard said Normoyle’s gain was also planed, but is misleading due to an illness in the winter that led to <a href="https://healthylife7.com/this-smoothie-recipe-for-weight-loss-keeps-you-full-for-5-hours/" title="This Smoothie Recipe for Weight Loss Keeps You Full for 5 Hours”>weight loss
“His was putting back on the weight,” Shephard said
Three returning players changed jersey numbers: Jabari Odoemenem from 6 to 3, Logan Knapp from 16 to 10 and Gyriece Goodman from 42 to 12
The jersey numbers for Oregon State’s new transfers and freshmen are: Xander Chisolm (5), Danny Leary (13), Jayden Padgett (18), MJ Kennybrew (21), Marquis Raspberry (26), Rocco De La Rosa (27), Caleb Metzner (42), Tanu A’aitui (55), Michael Langi (71), Landon Cook (81), Adel Dorr (88), Lolani Finau (93), Cameron Hewitt (94)
