What is a "high major prospect"?

Oliver was rated .87 by 247 out of high school.  But, 247 also rated him at .80 when he transferred from Louisville.

Whatever 247 saw, we should have seen.

In 2022 Oliver played 60 defensive snaps in 5 games.  His PFF score for 2022 was 63.1, which isn't very high.

Oliver redshirted at Louisville in 2021 so he is a redshirt-sophomore this year and has two more years of eligibility left.

He came to Syracuse via the portal in December of 2021 so he cannot transfer again until he graduates.  Oliver entered the portal in August of 2021 before Louisville played a game that year.

So... After going to multiple high schools, he enrolled at Louisville in January 2021, but entered the portal in August of 2021 before paying a single game.

Transferred to Syracuse in December of 2021 in time for the Spring 2022 semester.  Played 60 defensive snaps for Syracuse in 2022.

Something happened in fall camp before the 2023 season.  He has not played a single snap in 2023 while transfers like Gould (RS-Fr) and Farmer (RS-Jr) have played in every game.  Word is Oliver has not been with the team since mid-September.  I'm glad he is still on campus and taking classes.  Maybe the coaches left the door open for him to return to the program in the spring.

It's way too early to tell what the safety room is going to look like in 2024.
