Explosive OSU edge/LB with game-wrecking upside, but recent injuries matter
Collin Oliver is a disruptive, high-motor defender whose best calling card is pass-rush juice from a linebacker/edge role; in his standout 2023 season at Oklahoma State, he posted 73 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks, 5 pass breakups and 4 forced fumbles.[8][14] What makes him interesting beyond the box score is his proven playmaking instinct and captain-level presence, but teams also need to weigh the durability question after a lower-leg injury ended most of his 2024 season and limited his workload.[14][6] If you want a versatile, aggressive front-seven defender with splash-play ability, he fits; if you need a low-risk, every-down tackler, the missed-tackle history is a real flag.[6]
