Packers select Oklahoma State LB Collin Oliver at No. 159 overall in fifth round of 2025 draft

The Green Bay Packers selected Oklahoma State linebacker Collin Oliver with the No. 159 overall pick in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft.

Oliver played both on the edge and at off-ball linebacker for Oklahoma State. He produced big numbers -- 40.5 tackles for loss, 23.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and five pass breakups over 43 games and 22 starts. He was a three-time All-Big 12 selection (2021-23) but missed 10 games to a foot injury in 2024.

The Packers could see Oliver as a subpackage pass-rusher with the versatility to play off-ball linebacker for Jeff Hafley's aggressive defensive front.
