Oregon State’s season ended with a 2-10 overall record last week and the program is off in a new direction under head coach JaMarcus Shephard.
Most Beaver fans will admit that this season was one to forget. The Oregon State offense averaged 349.8 yards per game in 2025, outside of the top 90 in FBS, with an average of five yards per play.
At the end of the day, Oregon State’s lack of success can’t solely be pinned on just the offense, just the defense, or just the special teams. In every phase, several players did what they could to help move things in a positive direction.
With the season wrapped up, several of these players stand out on in Pro Football Focus’ cumulative grades for the year. Here are the ones that stand out the most.

Despite his issues, Murphy received a higher overall grade than both Gabarri Johnson (49.9) and Tristan Ti’a (56.6).
