Braelen Oliver is Georgia Tech’s steady, physical veteran at linebacker
Braelen Oliver brings real experience and reliable production to Georgia Tech: in the 2023 season, he appeared in 12 games and logged 29 tackles with 4.5 tackles for loss, while his earlier Minnesota career included 79 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, and a forced fumble. He’s a mature, graduate-transfer defender with obvious football IQ, solid pursuit, and enough versatility to fit multiple linebacker looks. The differentiator is his veteran feel and toughness—he’s the kind of low-drama, assignment-sound piece coaches trust when they want a defense that won’t freeload on effort.
