Ethan Calvert is Cal Poly’s rangy, high-upside linebacker with proven production and a blue-chip pedigree
In the 2024 season, Ethan Calvert played 10 games for Cal Poly and posted 35 tackles, 3 pass breakups, and a forced fumble; in the 2024 Cal Poly position preview, the staff highlighted that he was already tied for fourth on the team with 37 tackles before an injury shortened his year. He brings legit recruiting juice too: he was a four-star prospect and a top inside-linebacker recruit out of Oaks Christian, and his game profile suggests size, physicality, and downhill bite. The catch? Durability has been the swing factor, so he looks like a smart fit for a defense that wants toughness, range, and upside with some calculated injury risk.
