Pope will be joined by fellow sophomores-to-be Tyler Bilodeau, Michael Rataj, KC Ibekwe, Jayden Stevens and Justin Rochelin. Veterans Dexter Akanno, Christian Wright and Chol Marial will also look to continue their roles in the Beaver rotation.
Overall, Oregon State as one of seven teams in the nation to have three freshmen average six or more points per game in 2022-23, and was one of five teams to have over 50 percent of its scoring come from its freshman class. Eight Oregon State freshmen played in at least one game last season, making it one of two programs in the nation to reach that mark.
