Oregon State Beavers football 2017 position battle to watch: Wide receivers and tight ends

As Oregon State moves closer to the start of fall camp, The Oregonian/OregonLive is breaking down the Beavers' roster by highlighting the prominent battles for playing time in each position group.

The overall storyline: Most point to poor quarterback play as the root of OSU’s immense passing-game struggles during Gary Andersen’s tenure. But the Beavers’ receivers must also develop, and there are potentially multiple starting spots up for grabs following the expected loss of top pass-catcher Victor Bolden and unexpected departure of projected starter Hunter Jarmon when he signed an undrafted free agent contract with the San Diego Padres.
