  Kitan Oladapo has been one of the standouts of fall camp for the Oregon State football team. The 6-foot-1 defensive back from Happy Valley said having a full season under his belt has helped him better understand his role within defensive coordinator Trent Bray's system. Oladapo also had a productive offseason tightening up some areas of his game. "Taking coaching points, watching film from last year, working on the small mistakes I made, whether it's breaks, eyes, just watching film and seeing what I can improve on," Oladapo said.

Improving his coverage skills was a primary goal and his progress in that area has been evident throughout fall camp. The team has emphasized proper technique in pass coverage, using different drills which take away defenders' ability to hold and demand good positioning. On Thursday, defensive backs wore boxing gloves for part of practice. Oladapo said Bray's system, which reduces complexity in favor of freeing players to make quick decisions and play aggressively, has been a positive change. "We've shrunk down our play calls a little bit, but we're sticking to the fundamentals, really getting down those play calls that we have. I think that is good," Oladapo said. - Gazette Times

  Calvin Hart Jr. played roughly 31/2 quarters in his debut season at Illinois before suffering what would be a season-ending knee injury in the fourth quarter of the Illini's season-opening win against Nebraska. But what a 31/2 quarters it was for the former North Carolina State product. Hart finished his one and only game so far in orange and blue with six tackles, 11/2 tackles for loss, one sack and one fumble recovery for a touchdown. Simple math says he would have put up roughly 82 tackles and 201/2 tackles for loss in a full season and scored a dozen touchdowns. (OK, maybe not, but it was an impressive single game).

That Hart was able to return this spring healthy after knee surgery last fall was a good sign. That speedy recovery, and the fact he's full go for the Aug. 27 opener against Wyoming, is important. There's some intriguing depth at inside linebacker, but not all that much experience. Before the youth movement hits, Illinois will have to rely on Hart as one of three inside 'backers - Tarique Barnes and Isaac Darkangelo the other - to anchor the middle of coordinator Ryan Walters' defense. - News Gazette Tribune

  Oregon State junior tight end Luke Musgrave (6-6, 250) should be a leader on the field this season after playing in 13 games with nine starts last year, when he caught 22 passes for 304 yards and one touchdowns and was a constant menace on special teams, where he blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown. All that earned Musgrave a spot on the Mackey Award Watch List. If his name sounds familiar there is a reason. His uncle, Bill Musgrave, is currently the offensive coordinator with the Denver Broncos. He played in the NFL at quarterback from 1991 to 1998 for the Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts. He also lettered at Oregon from 1987-90. Luke's father, Doug, was a two-year letterwinner (1991 and 1992) at Oregon at quarterback. - Gazette Times

  Isaac Hodgins likes physical labor. Last summer, the Oregon State defensive end went through Craigslist looking for people who needed help with yard work or farming. Same with OSU teammates Logan Horton and Jake Overman. Horton, a junior running back, used to deliver food for DoorDash and Instacart, but with soaring gas prices, it didn't pencil out. But prior to name, image and likeness laws going into effect last summer, college athletes had limited options to earn an income.

Now, the possibilities are endless. Hodgins, Overman, Horton and former OSU tight end Quinn Smith were at Bible study, they started talking business. Out of it came "Dam Good Home Exterior Services," a business where the foursome use their names as catalyst to drum up home exterior service work. The business logo is a Beaver wearing a hard hat pushing a lawn mower. They do everything from mowing and trimming yards, pressure washing, gutter cleaning, weeding, spread backdust or mulch, window cleaning. Busy Beavers, eh? - The Oregonian

  From a statistical standpoint, no Pac-12 team had a better pair of inside linebackers than Roberts and Speights. Roberts led the conference in tackles with 128, while Speights was eighth with 95. Roberts also had a team-high 9 1/2 tackles for loss. Against the run, OSU was solid, though not spectacular, ranking fifth in the Pac-12 in yielding 4.14 yards per carry. But as a group, OSU's inside linebackers somewhat struggled to cover receivers, mostly slot and running backs.

Fisher, who started in the LA Bowl with Roberts undergoing surgery, was given first crack this spring as Roberts' long-term replacement. Fisher is hardly a newbie, as he enters his sixth year in college. Fisher is quick, and he can be physical. Despite losing a three-year starter in Roberts, the Beavers have plenty of inside linebacker experience. Colletto also enters his sixth year in college, and Speights has 25 career starts. But youth could seriously impact this position, as the coaches are excited about the progress of Mascarenas-Arnold and Miller. - The Oregonian

  Among Pac-12 schools, only Oregon was worse in defending the pass than OSU. Of course, not all of that is on the DBs, as it starts up front with pressuring the quarterback. But the secondary certainly shares the blame. Star receivers had mixed results against the Beavers. OSU gave up five 100-yard receiving games in September, then had a stretch of five consecutive games where it didn't allow a single 100-yard performance. Wright, thought to be the team's breakout star heading into the season, was inconsistent. It's why he decided to return for his senior season in 2022 rather than try to join his brother Nahshon in the NFL. - The Oregonian
