Oregon State Stars Earn Top Pac-12 Honors With One Leading the Pack

A standout trio from Oregon State earned top Pac-12 honors for their dominant performances on both sides of the ball during the 2025 season.

Oregon State’s Hankerson, Berger, and Glasper Earn Pac-12 Honors After Standout 2025 Season

Oregon State may be heading into a new era, but three Beavers made sure to leave their mark on the Pac-12 one last time. Running back Anthony Hankerson, offensive lineman Ryan Berger, and defensive back Trey Glasper have all been named 2025 Pac-12 Top Performers, earning recognition from conference media for their impact this season.

Let’s break down what each brought to the table - and why these honors are more than just a feather in the cap.


Anthony Hankerson: The Workhorse Who Delivered

Hankerson was named the Pac-12's top offensive performer, and it’s not hard to see why. He racked up 1,086 rushing yards - the 17th-most in Oregon State history - and became just the sixth Beaver ever to post multiple 1,000-yard seasons.

That puts him in rare company, and he’s the first to do it since Jacquizz Rodgers back in 2010. That’s a name Beaver fans don’t throw around lightly.

Hankerson was a model of consistency and toughness all season, eclipsing the 100-yard mark in five games this year and 10 times over his two-year OSU career. His signature performance came against Lafayette, where he exploded for 204 yards and tied the school’s single-game record with four rushing touchdowns. That kind of dominance doesn’t happen by accident - it’s the product of vision, balance, and a relentless motor.

He ends his Oregon State career with 24 rushing touchdowns, tying him with Ryan Nall for eighth-most in program history. That’s the kind of production that resonates in Corvallis - a back who didn’t just flash, but finished.


Ryan Berger: The Quiet Anchor Up Front

Offensive linemen don’t always get the spotlight, but Ryan Berger earned his shine this season as the Pac-12’s top offensive lineman. Versatility was the name of the game for Berger, who started at left guard, right guard, and center across 10 games - seven of them starts. That kind of flexibility is a coach’s dream and a quarterback’s best friend.

Per Pro Football Focus, Berger allowed just one sack and one quarterback hurry over 282 pass-blocking snaps. That’s not just solid - that’s elite-level protection, especially for a player bouncing between three interior spots. His pass-blocking grade came in at 80.9, a strong mark that reflects both technique and consistency.

In a conference known for its defensive front talent, Berger held his own and then some. Whether he was creating running lanes for Hankerson or keeping the pocket clean, Berger was a steady presence all season long.


Trey Glasper: A Freshman Who Played Like a Vet

True freshmen usually take time to adjust to the college game. Trey Glasper didn’t get that memo. The defensive back was named the Pac-12’s top freshman after a debut season that saw him play in all 12 games and start nine of them.

Glasper finished with 23 tackles and tied for the most pass breakups between Oregon State and Washington State with five. He also recorded his first career interception against Houston - a moment that showed both his instincts and ball skills. Among freshman defensive backs, his 23 tackles tied for the most, underscoring just how active he was in Oregon State’s secondary.

He wasn’t just filling a spot - he was making plays. Whether it was in coverage or stepping up in run support, Glasper looked like he belonged from the jump.


The Bigger Picture

These honors aren’t just individual accolades - they’re a reflection of what Oregon State football has built. Hankerson, Berger, and Glasper each brought something different to the field, but together they helped define a team that competed with toughness, resilience, and pride.

As the Beavers prepare for a future outside the traditional Pac-12 structure, these three leave behind a legacy of performance that fans in Corvallis won’t soon forget.

Go Beavs.
