Calvin Tyler Jr.: RB · Utah State · #4.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Calvin Tyler Jr.
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Played for three head coaches across five seasons and two programs. The first one came in 2022: All-Mountain West. One game to point at: 161 rushing yards and 33 receiving yards against UConn — Week 1, 2022.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 11.0% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 13.9% of his carries. 12 carries for 13 yds vs Alabama; 33 for 161 vs UConn.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
The closer
49.7% of carries overall (252/507) → 50.0% of Q4-with-lead carries (32/64) — 100.0% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
