One of the biggest risers in the prep quarterback class of 2026 is already in search of a new home. 

Bryson Beaver, a four-star prospect who committed to Boise State last April and flipped to Oregon in June, entered the transfer portal on Wednesday. Beaver signed with the Ducks in December and arrived on campus earlier this month. 

The news came after starting quarterback Dante Moore announced that he is returning to Oregon for his junior season. Boise State plays at Autzen Stadium on Sept. 5.

The Ducks also signed Nebraska transfer Dylan Raiola in the transfer portal.  

Beaver attended Southern California’s Vista Murrieta High School and was rated the No. 174 overall prospect, the nation’s No. 12 quarterback recruit and the No. 19 overall player in California in the 247Sports class of 2026 composite rankings. He made a significant jump in the recruiting rankings after committing to Boise State. 

The Broncos also lost four-star quarterback Tradon Bessinger of Utah’s Davis High School to Iowa. Jackson Presley, another class of 2025 quarterback decommitment, remains unsigned. 

Boise State signed two California prep quarterbacks back in December: Cash Herrera of The Bishop’s School and Jackson Taylor of Thousand Oaks.
