The Oregon State Beavers may have the home state as a top priority, but not far behind for the program under Gary Andersen has been the recruiting effort in Florida.

That aim was furthered Friday morning with the commitment of 247Sports three-star wide receiver Quantino Allen, who chose Oregon State over offers from Bowling Green, Charlotte, Louisville, Marshall, Purdue, South Florida, Syracuse, West Virginia and others:

As Of Now My family And Myself Have decided that I will Be taking my talents to Oregon State University. As I am Fully Committed ‼️ #Beaves — Tino Allen (@Tinoo17_17) May 20, 2016

The 5-foot-11, 200-pound pass-catcher, out of Glades Central High School (Belle Glade, Florida), claims a 4.4 40-yard dash and continues the Beavers' trend of looking to Florida to add playmaking speed to the roster.

Allen represents the third commitment for Oregon State in the class of 2017, joining junior college defensive end/linebacker Xavier Davis and quarterback Aidan Willard.

Based on social media, it seems the Beavers coaching staff is thrilled with the addition.
