Oregon State head coach Wayne Tinkle and his staff announced the addition of Tre' Williams who signed a Financial Aid Agreement to join the Beaver basketball program beginning with the 2021-22 season.

Williams, a 6-foot-5 guard from Dallas, Texas, joins 6-foot-3 guard Dashawn Davis, 7-foot-2 center Chol Marial and 6-foot-8 forward Ahmad Rand in the class of 2021-22.

"We are thrilled to be adding Tre' to our team," Tinkle said. "He's a 6-foot-5 versatile guard who can play several positions. He's a hard-nosed defender and a good finisher in transition. Probably his best characteristic is that he's a great team guy who is always pumping up his teammates and very vocal. The sooner he gets acclimated I think he'll show his true leadership.

"Coach (Kerry) Rupp recruited him throughout high school so we are very familiar with his game and very excited to add him to our program."
