After JUCO Ruling, Oregon State Lose OL Flavio Gonzalez To Transfer Portal
Thanks to a recent ruling by the NCAA, players who would have run out of eligibility following the 2024 season will receive an extra year if they spent part of their career at a junior college.
After three seasons at Oregon State, starting offensive lineman Flavio Gonzalez announced this week that he will use that extra year of eligibility to play at another school. Gonzalez announced his entrance into the transfer portal via X over the weekend.
