Oregon State QB Braden Atkinson shines as top transfer target
Summary

Oregon State quarterback Braden Atkinson is projected to be a significant target in the upcoming transfer portal after leading NCAA Division I in passing yards. Atkinson, a sophomore who transferred from Mercer, has already thrown for 2,257 yards this season with 21 touchdowns and just two interceptions. His performance has helped the Beavers secure a winning streak of four games, scoring 122 points in their last two contests. Oregon State may need to bolster its name, image, and likeness (NIL) offerings, as Atkinson's estimated NIL value approaches $1.2 million, significantly lower than rivals such as Oregon.
