One of the most explosive defenders in Stillwater since the arrival of HC Mike Gundy, Oliver (6’1/240) enters the draft with a 9.74 RAS and the tape to match. Bursting onto the scene as a true freshman with 11.5 sacks in 2021, Oliver racked up 40.5 TFLs and 23.5 sacks across his career, blending twitchy acceleration (1.57 10-yard split) with bend and chase-down effort. While he transitioned from EDGE to off-ball LB in 2023, his comfort zone remains screaming off the edge. Oklahoma State’s 3-3-5 gave him hybrid reps, but his instincts in space still need seasoning. Undersized with 30.75” arms, Oliver can get swallowed in the wash and needs a defined role. His 90.8 PFF pass rush grade backs up the eye test—when he’s turned loose, he’s a headache. He’ll thrive as a nickel rusher early, with developmental upside as a rotational WILL linebacker.
