Braden Atkinson Re-Signs With Oregon State
IRVINE, CA: Athletes in Control (AiC) announced today that quarterback Braden Atkinson has re-signed with Oregon State for the 2027 season. Atkinson leads the nation in passing yards.
“Just excited to be back in the orange and black next year. Built a great culture here and ready to build on it next year,” said Atkinson.
Atkinson has been one of the most productive passers in college football in his first season with the Beavers. He has thrown for 3,169 yards, the most in FBS, and set a school record with eight straight 300-yard games.
His play has earned national recognition, including a spot on the Davey O’Brien Award’s Great 8 and Manning Award Star of the Week honors. Off the field, Atkinson joined Nike’s Blue Ribbon Elite NIL roster this season.
“Our job is to put Braden in a position to be successful,” said Grayson Sheena, Atkinson’s agent. “He loves Corvallis and Corvallis loves him. We couldn’t be more excited for him and Beaver Nation.”
Atkinson came to Corvallis from Mercer. In 2025 he won the Jerry Rice Award as the top freshman in the FCS and was named SoCon Freshman of the Year, setting Mercer’s single-season records along the way.
“At Athletes in Control, we put the athlete in the driver’s seat,” said Rudy Caamano, CEO of AiC. “Our job is to bring all of the information to Braden to help him and his family make the decision that is best for him. I believe we accomplished that goal with him staying with Oregon State.”
AiC represents Atkinson and manages his name, image and likeness partnerships.
