A veteran Oregon State safety with starting experience and real back-line value
In the 2001 season, Calvin Carlyle was a returning senior defender for Oregon State at safety, and the Beavers’ staff described him as one of the solid anchors in the secondary alongside Jake Cookus and Dennis Weathersby[8][9]. He had enough value that, even while recovering from shoulder surgery in spring camp, Oregon State still viewed him as a key safety piece[10]. The big takeaway: he brings experience, stability, and positional trust, though his name is mostly tied to older Oregon State rosters and not current production data.
