Oviedo's numbers across 32 matches paint a picture of a high-volume ball-carrier who consistently puts his body into contact at both ends of the field. His carrying load and defensive output sit well above casual contribution levels, and his best individual performances — peaking at 26 carries and 18 tackles in a single match — show he can shoulder a genuinely dominant share of the forward work when required. Eight tries across this sample adds a finishing dimension that keeps defenders honest beyond the gainline.
