CORVALLIS -- Oregon State guard Tyler Voltin knows about overcoming obstacles.
A former walk-on player who didn’t get on the field in his first two years with the Beavers, Voltin earned playing time in 2023 on his way to claiming a scholarship and a starting role going into the 2024 season.
Just as the 6-foot-4, 379-pound right guard was beginning to excite Oregon State’s fan base about his potential, Voltin suffered a season-ending knee injury against San Diego State in September 2024.
After just over a year of recovery from an ACL tear, Voltin made his return to action last Friday against Houston.
“It’s been a long time coming,” Voltin said. “Felt really good. I didn’t really have any issues out there. I felt it the day after for sure, but it felt great [during the game].”
