Oregon State Beavers football National Signing Day live updates recap: Tracking OSU's 2017 recruiting class

The Oregon State Beavers showed marked improvement on the field this season on their way to a 4-8 record.

That forward momentum has paid dividends on the recruiting trail, as Oregon State enters National Signing Day with a solid recruiting class that demonstrates increased reach -- both in the home state and abroad.

For the Beavers, that success meant Gary Andersen would prefer a quiet Signing Day with few bells and whistles.

And it delivered.

Oregon State landed the commitment of consensus three-star athlete Kesi Ah-Hoy, a hard-hitting linebacker, and hung onto each of its commitments, highlighting the coaching staff's strong understanding of where they stood with their players.

Follow the chart and updates below in the comments section for the latest about the Beavers' commitments, signings and breaking news through Wednesday.

Aidan on his decision to attend Oregon State, courtesy of OregonLive -- "It's been a dream of mine to play at Oregon State for as long as I can remember. Both of my parents went there and I couldn't pass up the great opportunity. It's a great school and I'm excited about the coaching staff and young, talented roster" ... Justin-Siena head coach Brandon LaRocco on Willard - "Aidan is a truly gifted dual-threat quarterback, a great combination of size, speed and strength. He possesses excellent arm strength and has an outstanding ability to move in the pocket, escape the rush, and extend the play. He is a competitor in every sense of the word. You can really see it in the way that he plays the game. One of the things that stood out to me this year is the growth he made as the leader of our team. He set the tone every day in practice by pushing himself and his teammates, he really embraced this role. We are so proud of the growth Aidan has made during his four years with us and are looking forward to watching his continued growth at Oregon State."
