Oregon State’s star wide receiver is the latest player to hit the transfer portal.
Trent Walker Jr. announced on Tuesday that he’s entering his name into the transfer portal with one year of eligibility remaining. Though Walker just completed his redshirt senior season, he indicated earlier this year that he planned to apply for a waiver for an additional season after only having played three full seasons for the Beavers (2023, 2024, 2025).
The Beaverton High grad had 68 receptions for 823 yards and two touchdowns last season. For his career, Walker has 154 catches for 1,790 yards, including a team-high 81 receptions for 901 yards in 2024. Walker ranks ninth in school history for receptions and 17th in receiving yards.
Walker thanked OSU and Beaver Nation for the support over the years in a social media post.
“From starting out as a walk-on to becoming the player I am today, I know none of this would have been possible without my current and former teammates, coaches, and everyone who makes this program what it is,” he wrote on X/Twitter. “Oregon State has, and always will mean everything to me. With that being said, after a great amount of thoughts and prayers, I have decided that it is best for my family and I to move on.”
Walker was among the players who publicly voiced their disappointment after Oregon State fired former head coach Trent Bray in October.
The transfer portal window opens on Jan. 2 and runs until Jan. 16. Keep up with the Beavers’ transfers with The Oregonian/OregonLive’s transfer portal tracker.
