Oregon director of recruiting operations JR Moala is slated for a return to Oregon State, sources told FootballScoop on Monday.
Moala previously served as a defensive quality control coach at Oregon State from 2015-20, and the move will allow him to be more involved with football than he was at Oregon for the past three seasons, sources said.
A former Portland State fullback, Moala has multiple family ties to Oregon State and to Corvallis.
His late brother Tevita played linebacker for the Beavers from 1999-2000, and Moala's family remained in Corvallis while he worked in Eugene.
The 2024 season will be the first under head coach Trent Bray, a former Beavers player who spent the past six seasons as an assistant before his promotion to head coach when Jonathan Smith took the Michigan State job.
