Another top defensive tackle prospect, Ed Oliver is the nation's No. 6 recruit overall.

The 6-foot-2, 277-pound senior at Westfield (Houston) committed to Houston on May 21 but LSU and Texas have continued to recruit the bullish lineman hard.

A look at his top five plays shows he was virtually impossible to single-team in high school. He also shows tremendous speed, actually dropping back on a scramble to intercept a pass.



How he transitions to college will be interesting. He sure looks like the real deal.
