On the smaller side for an edge rusher in the NFL, Oliver came on the scene strong in 2021, earning Freshman All-America honors and being named Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year with 11½ sacks among 15½ tackles for loss.
He followed that up with five sacks among 7½ TFLs in 2022, and then six sacks among a team-best 15½ TFLs in '23.
