Dylan Sikorski, 3-star offensive lineman, commits to Oregon State Beavers
Oregon State Beavers coach Jonathan Smith and his coaching staff have been aggressive recruiting the Northwest during his tenure.
The Beavers are often the first Power 5 conference program to offer top targets and seem to take pride in identifying local talent early.
Prior to this month, however, Oregon State hadn't landed a Northwest prospect in the class of 2024.
That has changed in a hurry.
Less than a week after adding Graham-Kapowsin star Malachi Durant, the top-rated wide receiver in the region, the Beavers added a second local prospect into the fold.
On Monday, Sumner (Washington) three-star offensive lineman Dylan Sikorski announced his commitment to the Beavers over offers from Air Force, Colorado State, Montana, Nevada and growing interest from several FBS programs:
"I visited last weekend and the environment stood out to me - from how the coaches coach to how the players lead their team," he said. "It was different compared anything I ever saw."
The 6-foot-5, 300-pound lineman, who could play either guard or tackle spot at the college level, said offensive line coach Jim Michalczik was a massive piece to the puzzle.
"Coach M was a major factor," Sikorski said. "I believe he could make me the best player I can be. And also develop me as a great man."
The Washington product doesn't plan to graduate early, instead arriving in Corvallis next summer, but won't take any other visits.
He's locked in on a future as a Beav.
