Riley Williams Enters Portal as Oregon State’s First Exit Under New Coach

The junior tight end is weighing options with openness to a return, according to reports.

Overview

  • On3 first reported Williams’ portal entry, which The Oregonian confirmed Friday via a source.
  • He has two years of eligibility remaining after appearing in only two games this season.
  • Reports indicate he suffered a torn labrum in the second game and later had an emergency appendectomy that delayed shoulder surgery.
  • Williams spent his first two college seasons at Miami under Mario Cristobal, totaling 15 receptions for 187 yards and one touchdown.
  • The move comes as Oregon State resets under new head coach JaMarcus Shephard following a 2-9 season and prior roster turnover, marking the program’s first portal departure since his hire.
