Oregon State WR Jesse LeGree accomplishes impressive feat faster than Jeremiah Smith

Oregon State wide receiver Jesse LeGree became the first player to reach 1,000 receiving yards in the 2026 season, a milestone he achieved ahead of Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith. LeGree recorded a 90-yard touchdown run and finished with two scores in a 48-30 victory over Washington State, extending his streak of 100-yard games to seven.

His performance lifted the Beavers to a 5-2 record after a slow start, with the team now holding a 24.5 yards-per-catch average and 14 total receiving touchdowns in just seven contests. Coach JaMarcus Shephard has utilized LeGree's production to revitalize the program following the departure of several Pac-12 rivals to other conferences.

The Beavers will look to secure bowl eligibility in their next road game against Fresno State, a team that recently lost its home match to Boise State.
