Breaking: Tez Johnson Flips commitment to Oregon State Beavers due to
Tez Johnson’s New Chapter
Tez Johnson stood on the edge of the field at Reser Stadium, the crisp Corvallis air biting at his cheeks. It had been a whirlwind few weeks since he’d decided to leave Oregon after a tough season marred by injuries. Despite the pain of leaving the Ducks, he felt a new sense of purpose in the orange and black of the Oregon State Beavers.
When Oregon State’s head coach reached out, Tez was initially skeptical. Could he really leave the Ducks for their in-state rival? But the coach’s vision was compelling: the Beavers were building something special, and Tez could be a cornerstone of their offense. The team needed a dynamic playmaker, someone to spark big plays and bring leadership to a young receiving corps.
Tez spent days agonizing over the decision. He called his family, talked to his former teammates, and even took a solo drive to the coast to clear his head. Eventually, he realized that this was his chance to rewrite his story, to prove that he could thrive in any environment.
By the time the transfer announcement hit social media, Tez was all in. He wrote a heartfelt post thanking Oregon for the memories but made it clear he was ready for a fresh start.
“New chapter, same mission. Let’s get to work. #GoBeavs,” he tweeted, accompanied by a photo of him in an Oregon State uniform, the Reser Stadium lights glowing behind him.
The transition wasn’t without challenges. He had to win over new teammates who were initially wary of a former Duck joining their ranks. But Tez’s work ethic and humility quickly earned their respect. During the first spring practice, he dazzled the team with his speed, catching deep balls and turning routine plays into electrifying moments.
By the time the fall season rolled around, Tez was more than just a transfer; he was a leader. Oregon State’s offense hummed with his presence, and the Beavers found themselves in the national conversation.
In a fitting twist of fate, the season’s most anticipated game was against Oregon. Tez returned to Autzen Stadium in Beavers colors, greeted by a mix of cheers and boos. When he scored the game-winning touchdown, silencing the crowd, Tez couldn’t help but smile.
It wasn’t about revenge—it was about growth, resilience, and finding a new home. For Tez Johnson, the Beavers weren’t just a team. They were a family, and together, they wer
e making history.
