No. 26 - Isaiah Oliver
6-foot-1, 195-pounds
Cornerback
Junior
Goodyear, Ariz.
Brophy Prep H.S.
Oliver didn't get many offers out of high school, and colleges have to be kicking themselves after seeing what he's done in two years at CU. Oliver started three games as a true freshman in 2015 and recorded 16 solo tackles and six break ups. He started two games as a sophomore last fall and totaled 17 solo tackles, 10 pass break ups, an interception, and a punt return for a touchdown. Oliver is set to be a full time starter at cornerback and could have a huge year.
