Clive Pond brings length, special-teams value, and developing linebacker upside for Oregon State
In the 2024 season, Clive Pond played in four games for Oregon State and logged four total tackles, including three at Air Force, while entering 2026 as a junior-sized linebacker at 6-foot-2 and about 225 pounds. He’s the kind of under-the-radar defender who can help a roster with effort, athletic background, and versatility—he was a multi-sport prep player who also contributed on offense in high school. The big question is ceiling: he hasn’t produced much volume yet, but he looks like a tough, rising depth piece who can earn value through special teams and steady development.
