Prediction: Oregon State Beavers to land key California edge-rusher

Oregon State appears well-positioned to secure the commitment of one of its top edge-rushing targets

Official visits don't go much better than the one Amador Valley High School (California) three-star edge-rusher Brady Nassar took to Oregon State last weekend.

Simply put, the 6-foot-5, 240-pound defensive end/outside linebacker left feeling like the Beavers coaching staff had checked every single box he had for his recruitment.

"I loved it there," Nassar said. "I love every person working for the staff, I love the town, I love the team. I think they are on the brink of being one of the best teams in the Pac-12 for years to come, and I think I could make a big impact in making that a reality. I love it there. What I left with is that it's a place where I have no complaints and there are no cons going there. It's all pros, it's all positive and good things out of that school."

Prediction: Brady Nassar to Oregon State

 Although Nassar is still planning to take official visits to Army, California and San Diego State, it's difficult to see him enjoying another visit, or bonding with a staff, at the same level he did while at Oregon State. 

The Beavers' on-field scheme is a perfect fit, he loved the coaching staff and the feel of Corvallis.

And Nassar believes Oregon State is on the cusp of breaking through and being one of the top programs in the Pac-12 Conference. 

It may take a little time, but "Nassar to Oregon State" feels like a near-lock after a stellar official visit. 

"At the end of the day, it's the people that make the place and that place has great people in it," he said.
