Transferring In 

Tahjae Mullix, IDL, previous school: Western Carolina 

The second addition of the transfer portal class for the Beavers was a second player in the trenches, adding Tahjae Mullix from FCS Western Carolina University. He announced his commitment via twitter Monday, Dec. 16 after being offered by the Beavers Wednesday, Dec. 11. 

Mullix, a 6-foot-3, 270-pound interior defensive lineman, brings much-needed in-game experience the Beavers are desperate for. Oregon State will be the third school he’s played for collegiately, initially attending FCS Western Illinois as a freshman before transferring to Western Carolina.

In two seasons with the Catamounts, Mullix has played 22 games and recorded 49 total tackles, 1.5 sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss. He was not rated by 247Sports as either a high school prospect or as a transfer.

He’s seen snaps at both guard positions, left tackle in games, while working at center in practices. Hand will likely fill one of the two guard spots for Oregon State, with left guard Joshua Gray and right guard Flavio Gonzalez both exhausting their eligibility.
