Boise State could be losing its second quarterback of the cycle in Bryson Beaver of Southern California’s Vista Murrieta High School. On Wednesday, Beaver announced on Instagram that he received a scholarship offer from reigning Big 10 champion Oregon and head coach Dan Lanning.
Beaver, a three-star prospect, is rated the No. 95 overall class of 2026 prospect in California in the 247Sports composite rankings. He committed to the Broncos in April over reported offers from Coastal Carolina, UNLV, Utah and numerous others.
The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Beaver completed 184 of 325 (57 percent) passes for 2,550 yards and 26 touchdowns with seven interceptions during his sophomore season at Vista Murrieta. He was even better as a junior, going 229 of 345 (66 percent) for 3,214 yards and 33 touchdowns with six interceptions.
Vista Murrieta finished 8-5 overall last season and reached the quarterfinals of the Division 3 Southern Section playoffs.
Late last month, Beaver was one of 15 quarterbacks selected to compete in the Elite 11 Finals. Beaver (No. 71 overall quarterback recruit) and Louisville commit Briggs Cherry (No. 84) were the only non-top 50 quarterback prospects to receive invitations to the Elite 11 Finals.
Good grief. Lanning struck out with all the top QBs. 😬
