Justin Hollins signed with the Washington Commanders on Aug. 19. The defensive end’s stay didn’t last very long. The Commanders released the former Oregon Ducks star, the team announced on Tuesday, the deadline day for final roster cutdowns.

Hollins, a fifth-round pick (No. 156) by the Denver Broncos in the 2019 NFL draft, played for the Los Angeles Chargers, New York Giants and Green Bay Packers last season, appearing in four games with nine tackles.

Hollins appeared in the Commanders’ third preseason game. He recorded one tackle and a quarterback hit against the New England Patriots.

In honor of first-year Oregon State coach Trent Bray and his uniform number of 44, we take a look at the Beavers’ 2024 season with 44 predictions and facts:

1. Rising star on offense: Trent Walker. Anyone for Mike Hass Lite? Perhaps it’s a little premature to compare Walker, but there are parallels. Walker and Hass played in the Beaverton-area Metro League in high school, came to Oregon State as walk-ons, and in the case of Hass, became the country’s best receiver during his senior year. Walker doesn’t have much of a college resume to date, but that should change this season. He caught everything in sight during camp and has the look of a No. 1 receiver.
