Calvin Tyler Jr. is a speedy running back from Texas. He committed to Oregon State Tuesday afternoon via Twitter. Tyler chose the Beavers over Illinois, after narrowing the field from a number of Division I offers.
On Monday night, Calvin Tyler Jr. was set to make his college commitment announcement on Wednesday, but he couldn’t wait and changed his mind deciding to make his official announcement this afternoon.
Calvin Tyler Jr. can provide the Beavers offense a different element. At 5-foot-9 and 190 pounds Tyler has a very different body type than Ryan Nall (6-foot-2, 235-pounds), but Calvin Tyler Jr is a threat to take it to the house every time he touches the football.
