Former Oregon State star Raegan Beers announces transfer to Oklahoma

Former Oregon State star Raegan Beers is transferring to Oklahoma. The junior forward announced her decision on social media on Monday.

Beers averaged 17.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game for the Beavers last season. She shot 66.4 percent from the field and ranked second nationally by one percentage point.

Oregon State (27–8) finished fourth in the Pac-12, reached the semifinals of the conference tournament and ultimately lost to South Carolina in the Elite Eight of the NCAA women's basketball tournament.

During her two seasons in Corvallis, Beers won Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and Sixth Person of the Year honors and was named to the conference's All-Freshman team. As a sophomore, she was also named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press and was named to two all-conference teams.

However, with the dissolution of the Pac-12 and the women's basketball program playing in the WCC under a two-year affiliate membership, eight Oregon State players entered the transfer portal after last season. Earlier Monday, guard Talia von Oelhoffen announced that she was transferring to USC.

“Now it’s time for the next chapter in my life and career,” Beers said a video posted on X. “I learned at a young age that I had to work for everything. I learned the importance of loving the process, and the process has led me here, to a place that emphasizes the importance of loving the game, the competition and Oklahoma.”

Beers also considered a transfer to UConn.

The Colorado native is eligible for two seasons with the Sooners, who have won two straight Big 12 regular-season titles with three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances under head coach Jennie Baranczyk. Now Oklahoma will face rivals like LSU and South Carolina as the Sooners make the transition to the SEC.

Beers joins a roster that also includes 2024 All-American Player of the Year and co-Big 12 Player of the Year Skylar Vann. The senior forward averaged 14.8 points and 7.2 rebounds last season. Junior guard Payton Verhulst also returns after having a season in which she averaged 12.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and four assists after transferring from Louisville. And freshman Sahara Williams averaged 9.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.
