In this story:
Things are starting to take shape for the Oregon State football program. JaMarcus Shephard is looking to see where the remaining pieced of his team can fit for the 2026 season as spring ball continues. Shephard also noted this week that he hopes he will get to be part of selecting OSU's next athletic director.
Meanwhile, the men's basketball program has now added four assistant coaches to help Justin Joyner take the first step as head coach. Learn who those new additions are and how their backgrounds can be beneficial to the rebuild. That rebuild is helped along by Josiah Lake's pledge to return to Corvallis for another season.
