Mizell: Forget the true freshman tag—Tyler was one of the Beavers’ most dynamic players during fall camp. Even with a loaded backfield, OSU is not saving Tyler’s redshirt. He’ll immediately be involved in the return game but has been explosive as both a runner and pass-catcher out of the backfield. Unseating Artavis Pierce or Thomas Tyner seems unlikely, but Tyler has been surprising outisders since he arrived on campus.
Moran: Nall basically missed three games last season and still ranked fifth in the conference in total rushing yards.
