Ball-hawking DB with proven playmaking chops for Gardner-Webb
Gianni Olivas looks like a disruptive, instincts-driven defensive back who has already shown real takeaway ability, finishing with 48 total tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, a team-high three interceptions, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and three pass breakups in the referenced season. That production points to a player who can affect games beyond basic coverage snaps, especially through anticipation, physicality, and opportunistic playmaking. If you want a DB who brings toughness, turnover upside, and back-end reliability, Olivas is the kind of fit that can raise a defense’s ceiling.
