OSU names
transfer as
starting QB
Beavers’ Wallace making strides at corner
By BOB LUNDEBERG
The Gazette-Times
BEND (AP) — Christian
Wallace was ready to post-
pone his dream of playing
Division I football.
The prize of Oregon
State’s 2016 recruiting
class, Wallace spent last
August in Houston and
Louisiana while working
to become eligible. It was
a discouraging experience
for the burly 6-foot-1,
220-pound cornerback.
“I felt like I was going
to quit,” Wallace said. “It
was horrible because at that
point I was thinking about
going to a junior college, but
my mom and my girlfriend
never let me quit anything.”
Wallace kept at it and
was finally cleared in early
September. He flew to
Oregon shortly thereafter to
begin his college career.
Rated the nation’s No.
6 athlete and a four-star
prospect by Rivals.com,
the late-arriving Wallace
redshirted in 2016
and is battling to
take over Treston
Decoud’s vacated
starting spot at
corner.
“He’s improved
a lot with his
mechanics, the art
of the backpedal,”
cornerbacks coach Wallace
Cory Hall said
after Tuesday’s practice at
Summit High. “Those are
the things we actually talked
about this morning. He’s
on schedule with what his
development should be.”
Wallace is still learning
the intricacies of the corner
position.
As a prep star for Sealy
High in southeastern Texas,
Wallace primarily played
running back and finished
with 10 touchdowns as a
senior. He chose OSU over
offers from TCU, Texas and
Mississippi State, among
others.
To have a longer career,
Wallace was interested
in
making
the switch to
defense.
“On a scale
of one to 10, I
feel like I’m at
a seven with
my technique,”
Wallace
said.
“I feel like I’ve
improved a lot.
This is my first
year focusing on that spot,
so I think I have a lot to
keep going over but I’m
learning pretty good.”
Just like Wallace, Hall
was a running back in
high school before transi-
tioning to corner during his
freshman season at Fresno
State.
Hall
mastered
the
position and was taken by
the Cincinnati Bengals in
the third round of the 1999
NFL Draft. He went on to
play six seasons in the NFL.
“I had a lot of big
colleges after me but it was
for running back; I chose
the college based on who
was going to let me play
DB,” said Hall, who was
tired of getting battered by
larger players. “When I got
to Fresno State, I couldn’t
backpedal. They all laughed
at me. A couple guys said
‘how’d you get a scholar-
ship? Why are you here?’”
Hall worked tireless with
coach Ken Greene, a former
NFL safety, to develop his
technique. By the end of
his college career, Hall had
some of the quickest feet in
the Bulldogs’ secondary.
“So that’s how I know
that if you put the time in
and your mind to it, you can
do it,” Hall said. “When I
look at a Christian Wallace,
the conversion (to defense)
is easy. It’s just how hard
you want to work.”
Wallace credits Hall for
helping him mature on and
off the field.
In less than a year,
Wallace is already feeling
significantly more comfort-
able in the secondary.
“Coach Hall is my
Page 3B
biggest resource here,”
Wallace said. “He’s a great
man. I see him as a father
figure because he took
me from straight offense,
not playing a down of
cornerback, to making me
an average player already
within like six months. So I
praise him.”
Wallace is the first to
admit that he’s far from a
finished product.
While his technique
has improved, Wallace
acknowledges that he must
work harder at learning
the schemes. Safety Jalen
Moore believes the play-
book will be Wallace’s final
hurdle in earning a starting
spot opposite Xavier Craw-
ford.
“He’s doing a lot better
with that than he did
last year,” Moore said.
“Everyone in this league
has speed, talent and
athleticism. What’s going to
separate each guy is his IQ
and mental capacity. That’s
what really important.”
Associated Press
BEND — Oregon State
coach Gary Andersen has
named community college
transfer Jake Luton the
Beavers’ starting quarterback.
Andersen announced his
decision Tuesday following
practice in Bend, Oregon,
where
the
Beavers
have
traveled for a
week of this
year’s fall camp.
Luton, who
transferred
to
Oregon
State
Luton
from
Ventura
Community College, was
competing
with
Marcus
McMaryion
and
Darell
Garretson for the starting nod.
Luton threw for 3,551
yards and 40 touchdowns,
both single-season records,
last year at Ventura. He also
went 13-for-21 for 118 yards
in the Beavers’ spring game.
