It’s yet another sign as to how bare former Oregon State coach Gary Andersen left the football talent cupboard.

OSU is the only Power 5 school that didn’t have a player selected in the 2019 NFL draft or sign an undrafted free agent contract.

Outside of Oregon State, Arizona and California had the fewest draft picks/UDFA signings with four each.

Oregon State has not had a player selected in the previous two drafts. The Beavers had at least one player picked in the NFL draft from 2001-17. The last time OSU went back-to-back years without producing an NFL draft pick was 1997-98.

The Beavers’ 2018 roster was mostly made up of players recruited by Andersen, who left Oregon State midway through the 2017 after a three-year run.

There is an Oregon State presence among this year’s NFL rookie crop, though neither player finished their careers in Corvallis.

Central Michigan cornerback Xavier Crawford, who played at OSU from 2015-17 before transferring, was a sixth-round selection by Houston. Fresno State quarterback Marcus McMaryion, who left OSU prior to the 2017 season, was invited to attend the Oakland Raiders’ rookie mini-camp.

Oregon State’s NFL drought should end in 2020, as the Beavers have several seniors that get some pro football attention, including quarterback Jake Luton, offensive lineman Blake Brandel, tight end Noah Togiai and defensive tackle Jordan Whittley.
