Offensive lineman Luka Vincic bid farewell to Oregon State last week, entering the transfer portal with two seasons of eligibility remaining. The Bothell, Washington product committed to Michigan State on Sunday in a post to X.

Vincic will rejoin former Oregon State Beavers head coach Jonathan Smith in East Lansing. Smith went 5-7 in his first season as Michigan State's head coach after leaving the Beavers last December.

Over the past three seasons, Vincic appeared in 22 games for OSU. In 2024, he appeared in 10 and started two at center. Vincic also made multiple appearances at right guard this season. He helped pave the way for a rushing attack that averaged 6.71 yards per attempt this past season.

Vincic is the first Oregon State player from this past season's team to commit to a new school.
