**Oregon State Beavers Name New Starting Quarterback Ahead of Upcoming Season**

Corvallis, OR – In a much-anticipated announcement, the Oregon State Beavers have officially named sophomore Jake Thompson as their starting quarterback for the upcoming season. Coach Jonathan Smith made the announcement during a press conference on Monday, praising Thompson’s growth and leadership during training camp.

Thompson, a local product from Beaverton High School, impressed coaches and teammates alike with his strong arm and decision-making skills throughout the preseason. Last year, he saw limited action as a freshman but demonstrated flashes of brilliance in crucial moments, including a memorable performance in the Beavers’ bowl game.

“Jake has shown tremendous progress since joining the program,” Smith said. “He’s earned this opportunity through hard work and commitment. We believe he’s ready to lead our offense and take us to new heights this season.”

Thompson will take the reins of an offense that returns several key players, including star running back Marcus Lee and wide receiver Jordan Harris, who are expected to provide valuable support. The Beavers are aiming for a successful season after finishing with a strong record last year.

Oregon State opens its season against the Stanford Cardinal on September 2, where Thompson will make his debut as the starting quarterback. Fans are eager to see how he will perform under the bright lights and high expectations of Pac-12 football. The Beavers are hopeful that Thompson’s leadership will guide them to a competitive season ahead.
