Baron Naone, the top-rated tight end recruit in the state of Oregon for 2025, has announced his decommitment from Oregon State. Originally committed to the Beavers while Jonathan Smith was still the head coach, Naone made the decision to open up his recruitment following changes within the coaching staff.
In a statement, Naone expressed his gratitude to Oregon State football for the opportunity they provided him, but ultimately decided to decommit from the program. The departure of both head coach Jonathan Smith and tight ends coach Brian Wozniak played a significant role in his decision.
Naone, who has received offers from Washington State and Tennessee, clarified that Oregon State is still a potential option for him, but he wants to familiarize himself with the new coaching staff. His decommitment marks a significant shift in the recruiting landscape for Oregon State, as he was the first top-ranked recruit in the state to commit to the Beavers in over a decade.
Despite his success as a defensive player, Naone’s offensive skills have attracted the attention of multiple schools, and he is currently ranked as the No. 12 tight end in the country for the class of 2025.
It is worth noting that Baron Naone has also been selected to play in the prestigious 2025 Polynesian Bowl in Hawaii, showcasing his talent on a national stage. His decision to decommit from Oregon State has undoubtedly sparked interest and speculation among college football fans, as they eagerly await his next move.
