Oregon State quarterback Braden Atkinson signed a deal to return to the team in 2027, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.
Atkinson becomes the second Oregon State star to re-sign for next year, joining the nation's leading receiver, Jesse Legree.
Atkinson has recorded more passing yards (3,169) than anyone else in FBS this season while sporting an impressive 25-3 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
Oregon State is averaging 38 points per contest, thanks in large part to its stellar offensive duo.
Atkinson has thrived with the Beavers after beginning his collegiate career at Mercer. The sophomore quarterback has thrown for more than 400 yards three times this year.
The Beavers have established a 5-4 record (3-2 in Pac-12) under first-year head coach JaMarcus Shephard and are tied for second in the conference. They'll play at Boise State on Saturday.
