Former Oregon State punter drafted by Canadian Football League team
Former Oregon State punter Josh Green has found his first professional home.
Green was drafted by the Hamilton Tiger Cats with the No. 8 pick in Tuesday’s Canadian Football League global draft. Only players not from the U.S. or Canada can be selected in the CFL global draft, and Green hails from Adelaide, Australia.
Green added to the rich tradition of Oregon State punters during his time in Corvallis, putting his name in the record books during his senior season in 2024. Across 12 games, Green punted 33 times for an average of 47.2 yards per kick — a school record.
15 of Green’s punts landed inside the 20, and 16 traveled 50 or more yards. His long was 68 against Air Force, and he didn’t record a punt out of bounds all season.
While OSU didn’t have any players drafted into the NFL this year, a first since 2019, several Beavers signed undrafted free agent deals. That included top offensive lineman Joshua Gray with the Atlanta Falcons, and tight end Jermaine Terry with the New York Giants, among other signees.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Fire crews quickly knocked down a trailer fire Monday night that threatened a nearby home in the 3000 block of Table Rock Road, displacing one resident.
Firefighters responded around 9:20 p.m. Monday, May 4. Engine 14 arrived to find a trailer on fire and the flames threatening a nearby residence. Crews knocked the fire down within eight minutes of arrival.
No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported. One resident was displaced as a result of the fire.
The cause is believed to be related to the use of an outdoor fire pit, where embers likely ignited nearby combustible materials. Officials said the fire spread from pallets and other items to the RV, causing extensive damage to the RV and minor damage to the exterior of the home.
With warmer, drier weather approaching, officials warned fire risk increases and urged people to follow outdoor fire safety tips. They recommend using a screen on outdoor fires when burning wood, choosing approved propane free-standing fire pits rather than wood-fueled options, keeping combustible materials at least 15 feet away, and discarding cigarettes, ash, embers and other smoldering materials in a non-combustible container filled with water.
Medford Police, Mercy Flights Inc. and Jackson County Fire District 3 assisted on the incident.
