Such is the case of Houston junior Ed Oliver. Oliver has not said anything about entering the 2019 NFL draft, but heading into this college football season, he is one of the odds-on favorites to be a top-five pick if he declares, and if he plays like he has his first two years of college.
Oliver is a true junior and has been a starting defensive tackle since the day he walked on campus at the University of Houston. He is a former 5-Star high school player who was recruited by the best programs in the country — including Alabama, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas and LSU.
