Oliver comes from a family of athletes and his younger brother
Roman Oliver was second on Hamilton in receiving yards as a freshman in 2025.
The USC pledge ran against the family tide as his mother, father, grandmother and grandfather all competed collegiately at Arizona State, which sits just 18 miles from Hamilton.
In two seasons, Oliver has 135 catches for 2,700 yards and 40 receiving touchdowns. He also averaged 21.4 yards per punt return in 2025 with two touchdowns.
