Oliver named FWAA's Most Inspirational Freshman

Racking up sacks leads to racking up awards.

Collin Oliver, Oklahoma State’s freshman pass rusher, was honored on Monday night for his stellar season. The Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) awarded Oliver the title of “Most Inspirational Freshman Player”

A true freshman, Oliver enrolled early at Oklahoma State, in the spring of 2021. Instead of preparing for his high school prom, he was preparing to wreak havoc on Big 12 defenses.

“By the time he ended his sophomore season of high school, I had a pretty good idea he had a chance to be a very quality football player,” OSU defensive line coach Joe Bob Clements said.
