Oliver is a mega athlete. He is so athletic that some teams think he has the ability to play inside linebacker, and that is unheard of from a defensive tackle prospect. Oliver is fast, tough, and has the instincts to become a star. He is great against both the pass and the run, but pass rushing is his specialty. Like Quinnen Williams, Oliver is an elite interior pass rusher. Oliver’s biggest problem is his size and length. If he can’t get bigger, his production will falter. It’s possible for him to play at an elite level at his size, however. One example is Aaron Donald. He is very small for a defensive tackle and is the best defensive player in the league. Oliver is able to create early advantages against the pass and the run and he will need to capitalize on those in the NFL, otherwise his size will get in the way of him disrupting the play. Overall, Oliver is undersized but his incredibly athletic abilities give him All-Pro potential.
