rangy, ball-hawking Beavers safety with NFL-level size
In the 2006 season, Piscitelli was one of Oregon State’s premier safeties, with 53 tackles, 4 interceptions, 17 career pass breakups, and a reputation as the “quarterback” of the secondary[1]. He stood out for his length, speed, and knack for being around the ball, plus enough versatility to spot in at cornerback[1]. The caution flag: earlier scouting notes and later pro writeups pointed to tackle inconsistency, so he looked best as a playmaking fit for a defense that values range and coverage instincts over pure thumping[1][9].
