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.

While no members of the 2024 Oregon State football team was selected in this weekend’s NFL Draft, a key member of the 2023 team was selected by the Seattle Seahawks.

Running back Damien Martinez, who played two seasons with the Beavs in 2022 and 2023 before finishing his college career with the Miami Hurricanes, was chosen by Seattle in the seventh round with the 223rd overall pick.

Martinez, a native of Lewisville, Texas, excelled in his first stint in the Pacific Northwest. In 2022, he was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year when he accumulated 982 rushing yards on 161 carries, scoring seven touchdowns. He was named a Freshman All-American by several outlets.

He was similarly effective in 2023, rushing for 1,185 yards on 194 carries with nine touchdowns. He was an All-Pac-12 First Team selection in both his seasons in orange and black.

For the 2024 season, Maritinez transferred to the University of Miami, where he rushed for 1,002 yards with ten touchdowns.

NFL Rookie Mini Camps are scheduled to begin in May.
