Oregon State: Legree made the announcement and re-signed with the Beavers live on…
Oregon StateA native of Baltimore, Maryland, Legree made the announcement at his high school, Saint Frances Academy, during the Beavers' bye week. He has received the Pac-12's Freshman of the Week award each of the last seven weeks.
"I always had an expectation for myself. With stats like those, Legree was likely to be one of the transfer portal's hottest commodities after being lightly recruited out of the prep ranks.
However, Legree's announcement gives hope that Oregon State's offense can sustain their substantial growth for at-least one more season. "it's always some kid's dream to live out a signing day, and unfortunately, I wasn't able to have mine last year, and to be able to have one this year for this contract is great," Legree noted as he signed for at-least one more year with the Beavs.
And I just know that Coach Shep is going to grow this this organization to something different in the next couple years." Legree made the announcement and re-signed with the Beavers live on CBS Sports HQ.
