On defense, De La Rossa had six interceptions and returned one for a touchdown.
He also had two return touchdowns and passed for one more.
De La Rossa was the Oregon West Conference Offensive Player of the Year this fall. He was a first team all-league selection as a receiver and kick returner and was a second team selection as an outside linebacker.
This is the second Oregon high schooler to commit to Oregon State on Thanksgiving. Cascade Christian safety Deryk Farmer announced a commitment to the Beavers on Thursday morning.
De La Rossa is the second Philomath football player to announce a Pac 12 commitment this year. CD Nuño announced a commitment to Boise State back in September.
