Initial reports that they belonged to Dee Andros have been discredited.

Those are Dee Andros' bones all right - Redrum - 01-27-2016
He once said he'd coach at Oregon State for life. I guess the Athletic Dept. took him at his word and when he started losing, well...you know.
The only other possibility is they are leg bones of Bill "Earthquake" Enyart, a gigantic [for the time] running back for OSU back in the Pleistocene Era.

6'4" and 235 pounds. That would be a big back today, let alone 50 years ago

In the 1960s, the AFL Buffalo Bills had elephant backs Cookie Gilchrist (6'3", 250#) whom they traded for Billy Joe (6'2", 235#). And let's not forget Refrigerator Perry...

Probably a difference between then and now is speed. Although great in their day, I suspect most if not all would have found playing time scarce today. Fournette, for example, has their size but I think his 40 time would smoke any of them.
