BREAKING; ESPN CONFIRMS Trent Bray has parted ways with the Oregon State Beavers

Trent Bray had always been a passionate coach, fiercely loyal to Oregon State, the team that had given him both a playing career and a coaching career. But as the 2024 season wound down, whispers of change began to swirl in the Beavers’ locker room. Bray had earned respect, especially for his work with the defense, but things were shifting behind the scenes. The program’s leadership had started to seek a new direction, one that didn’t align with Bray’s vision.

It was a late November morning when Bray got the call. The athletic director, a figure he had worked closely with over the past few years, told him the news gently but firmly—Oregon State had decided to part ways with him, as they sought to bring in a new defensive coordinator.

Bray took the news in stride, always the professional. He thanked the AD for the opportunity to have coached the team he loved. He packed his office in quiet reflection, the weight of the decision slowly sinking in. For Bray, the loss wasn’t just professional—it was deeply personal. The Beavers had been his home, and he had given his all to them.

As he exited the building, Bray paused for a moment to take in the crisp Oregon air. The Beavers’ faithful had been nothing but supportive, and while it was painful to walk away, he knew this wasn’t the end of his journey. He’d been a part of Oregon State’s growth, and he would carry that with him, wherever his next chapter took

him.
