Report: Oregon State CB Exodus Ayers’ Stalking Protective Order Dismissed
Oregon State starting cornerback Exodus Ayers has missed each of the Beavers’ first two games.
While details remain murky, the results of a court hearing earlier today could inch Ayers closer to the playing field. First reported by The Oregonian and confirmed by multiple outlets, an extended stalking protective order (SPO) has been dismissed in Benton County circuit court.
Late last week it was reported that a temporary SPO had been placed against Ayers, pending the hearing today. The victim also filed a police report with the Corvallis police department, alleging physical abuse during a six-month relationship with Ayers. As of the time of this publication, the Corvallis Police have not brought forward any charges.
Over the summer, a viral TikTok video appeared to show doorbell camera footage of an unnamed Oregon State football player dragging a woman by her hair. Many commenters noted the resemblance to Ayers, and the incident drew outrage from the Oregon State student body, but no action appeared to be taken against the defensive back. When Fall camp started, Oregon State head coach Trent Bray shut down any questions about Ayers’ status, and the sophomore practiced with the Beavers’ first team defense until the week of the season opener versus California. He was a healthy scratch out of the lineup in each of the past two games.
In the Oregonian’s report today, Ayers’ attorney Andrew Noonan was quoted with a claim that the sophomore corner was suspended – something that was speculated but not publicly disclosed – Noonan said “We are trying to work on that with the university. They are suspending him until the matter is resolved, one way or another.”
In his weekly press conference earlier today, Oregon State head coach Trent Bray stated that he would not discuss any specific players’ availability for Saturday’s matchup with Texas Tech. In Ayers’ absence, the Beavers have started true freshman Trey Glasper and junior transfer Jalil Tucker at their boundary corner positions.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The Oregon Department of Forestry is asking Oregonians to be careful when disposing of yard debris this spring.

“There have already been 23 escaped debris burns for a total of 83 acres reported on ODF-protected land in 2026,” the agency said.
The agency said that at this time last year, it had responded to 37 escaped burns.
“More than 70% of wildfires every year in Oregon are human-caused, with escaped debris burns topping the list,” ODF said. “With record-low snowpack and an abnormally warm winter, forecasters are anticipating a hotter and drier summer than usual.”
The Central Oregon District of ODF has already declared the start of fire season.
On May 14, fire restrictions will go into effect for all Bureau of Land Management lands in Oregon and Washington.
“We are increasingly concerned that 2026 could rival the most extreme years on record for heat and dryness in the Pacific Northwest,” said Jeff Fedrizzi, assistant chief of operations for the Pacific Northwest, U.S. Wildland Fire Service. “Every visitor must understand that even one small spark can lead to a costly and destructive fire in these high-impact conditions.”
Officials say the restrictions will help reduce the risk of human-caused fires. BLM officials say anyone who violates the prohibition could be fined up to $100,000 and/or face up to 12 months in prison.
More information on fire season is available on the ODF website.
The Bureau of Land Management website has additional information on fire restrictions and closures.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Oregon DMV issued a warning for drivers, saying scammers are still sending out fake text messages trying to steal money from people.
State DMV officials say it is part of a nationwide scam that’s been happening for nearly two years.
The fake text messages often come from international phone numbers or non-government email addresses.
In the messages, the scammers threaten to suspend car registration or driving privileges if a person doesn’t pay.
If you get this message, the DMV asks that you don’t click on any links or respond. Simply report it to the Federal Trade Commission or delete it.
