Oliver said, “Football is something that is taken very seriously around here, and I know that we could be something special if we all work for it. The expectations for the class of 2025 have always been high, so I held myself to a higher standard.”
Oliver helped his team go on to make a deep playoff run ending in an appearance in the state title game. “Playing at Camp Randall is every Wisconsin boy's dream, so for us, being able to go there is so special, especially for a school this small.”
