Jaquizz Rodgers, A Back To Be Contended With

The Beavers... An Under-dog of the Pac-10. Yet they have a star that might get them to the top.

He came from a prestiges Texas high school called Lamar Cons High School. He was their best player and came to the Oregon State Beavers. He is at a young age of 19, this young man has an amazing ability to squeeze by those big linemen and quick defensive backs and a powerful break tackle ability.

He is only a Sophomore yet he is one of the best in the league in yards. His stats are: 

         Rushing                               Receiving
