Jason Oliver never really got a chance to prove himself to new Colorado football coach Deion Sanders.
After playing in all 12 games as a freshman backup cornerback last year, Oliver underwent surgery for his torn labrum in November and missed most of spring practice as he healed from his injury, according his father.
But that didn’t matter to Sanders, who has made clear since his hiring in December that he wanted to “replace” players like Oliver after last year’s team finished 1-11.
On Monday, Oliver was pushed off the team after meeting with Colorado coaches.
