The Beaver students storm the field after a win in dramatic fashion over the Washington State Cougars at Reser Stadium on Nov 23.
The Beavers ended their 2024-25 season not bowl-eligible for the first time in four years with a 5-7 record.
The college football transfer portal is now open as of December 9th, and players are quick to throw their names in. The Daily Barometer sports staff will be providing a tracker with updates on who is entering the portal and who is going to stay wearing a Beaver uniform.
