Freshman space-eater with early tackles, big-body upside for Fordham
Brian Oliver Jr. is a 6-foot-3, 295-pound freshman defensive lineman who has already logged 3 total tackles in the 2026 season, including 2 against Colgate and 1 at North Dakota State, while bringing an all-state pedigree from The Taft School. His draw is the classic interior-DL package: size, leverage, and the ability to occupy gaps, with Fordham betting on his physicality and development curve rather than splashy stat totals. If you want a young trench player with starter-level frame and room to grow into a disruptive role, he’s a sensible fit.
