Deuce Oliver is UT Martin’s compact, versatile spark plug in the return game
Deuce Oliver (2026 season) is a 5-foot-10, 150-pound redshirt sophomore for UT Martin who has carved out value as a punt-return specialist and depth WR, with 12 punt returns for 56 yards in 2025 and a 7-catch, 54-yard receiving line on the season. He brings quickness, toughness, and a low-center-of-gravity style that fits a team needing space and reliability more than a pure jump-ball target. His background at Thompson HS included 79 catches for 748 yards and three touchdowns, plus three straight state titles, suggesting a winner’s mindset and competitive edge.
