Oregon State Beavers poised for big football recruiting weekend

The Oregon State Beavers are gearing up for a big official visitor weekend in Corvallis, featuring some of their top targets from across the country.

Here's a look at the weekend's scheduled visitors* (*subject to change this week):

4-star offensive lineman Simione Pale (Elk Grove; California) - The highest-rated prospect for Oregon State this weekend is 247Sports four-star offensive lineman Simione Pale.

Oregon State offensive line coach Jim Michalczik hasn't always landed the top recruits, but he's consistently developed his players into quality linemen and has a reputation as one of the top offensive line coaches in America.

It appears Pale has taken notice. 

The 6-foot-4, 320-pound prospect is rated the nation's No. 15 interior offensive lineman and holds double-digit scholarship offers.

Arizona, BYU, California, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA and USC are among the schools who have also offered Pale.

3-star JC safety Jadon Pearson (Reedley College) - Class of 2022

Set to graduate this summer and arrive in the fall, Jadon Pearson is rated the nation's No. 8 junior college safety.

He is down to a top five Florida, Missouri, Oregon State, Utah and Washington State.

Pearson is set to visit Utah a week after Oregon State. 

He could be an immediate depth addition - with starting potential. 

3-star quarterback Aidan Chiles (Downey; California) - Chiles admitted he was ready to commit to Oregon State prior to new offers from Kansas State, Oregon, Washington, Washington State and others.

Now, it will be a very really battle.

Still, the Beavers get credit for finding him and believing in him early.

This weekend's trip will be huge in Chiles' recruitment. 

The 6-foot-4, 195-pound signal-caller is rated the nation's No. 26 quarterback. 

3-star edge-rusher Zakiah Saez (St. Thomas Aquinas; Florida) - Zakiah Saez holds double-digit offers, highlighted by Florida State, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Louisville, Maryland, Mississippi State and others.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound edge-rusher has seen his development take off under the tutelage of former NFL star Jason Taylor.

Saez îs a prospect to watch for a possible commitment, and has added a 247Sports crystal ball pick this week. 

3-star tight end Cooper Jensen (Glacier Peak; Washington) - Committed to Oregon State

Washington product Cooper Jensen is rated the nation's No. 25 tight end and has expressed that he is rock-solid with the Beavers.

Jensen chose Oregon State over early offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Tennessee and many others.

The 6-foot-5, 210-pound pass-catcher was sure to see his recruitment rise even higher had he remained uncommitted.

Chalk his commitment up as yet another big-time "get" for rising tight end coach Brian Wozniak. 

3-star linebacker Isaiah Chisom (Chaminade; California) - A three-star prospect, Isaiah Chisom has seen his stock rise significantly this spring, as he's added offers from a number of programs and now boasts offers from Arizona, Colorado, USC, Washington and others.

The 6-foot-1, 220-pound 'backer 

3-star offensive tackle Soane Faasolo (Menlo-Atherton; California) - A fascinating prospect, Faasolo is a 6-foot-9, 260-pound lineman who needs to add weight and refine his technique.

But the frame and athleticism combination is intriguing, and few offensive line coaches develop their players better than Michalczik.

BYU, Cal and Washington have also entered the mix in an attempt to landing the high-ceiling lineman. 

3-star offensive tackle Kahlee Tafai (Leuzinger; California) - The 6-foot-6, 300-pound offensive lineman already holds offers from Arizona, BYU, Utah, Washington and others.

In the 2022 recruiting cycle, Oregon State elevated its offensive line recruitment and snagged a few coveted, talented three/four-star lineman.

Could Tafai be the next multi-Pac-12 offer target to choose the Beavs? 

3-star safety Jalen O'Neal (Manvel; Texas) - Rivals three-star safety Jalen O'Neal holds early offers from Indiana and Purdue.
