Redshirt Freshman OL with 12-Game Start Record Now at Oklahoma State
Shaun Torgeson, a 6'4", 290-lb offensive lineman from Ventura, CA, is no longer on the Portland State roster—he transferred to Oklahoma State in 2026 after redshirting his true freshman year (2024) and starting all 12 games at left guard in 2025 [1][2][7]. His differentiator is rare early-carei durability: starting 12 games as a freshman signals elite readiness, technical polish, and mental intensity uncommon for FCS newcomers [2][7]. Though he played only four games in 2024 (maintaining a redshirt), his 2025 season proved he can handle full-season volume without injury [1][7]. At 6'5" (some sources list 6'4") and 290 lbs, he has ideal OT/OL frame with room to add mass [2][3][8]. For a team seeking a high-intensity, game-tested freshman with three years of eligibility remaining, Torgeson is a strong fit—especially for programs needing immediate left-side stability [2][10].
