Background
Early life
Oliver attended Westfield High School in Houston. Oliver had 83 tackles, nine sacks and an interception as a senior and 84 tackles and seven sacks as a junior. In Oliver's senior season, Westfield went 11–1 into the 2015 UIL playoffs, where they lost 28–21 in the Area final to later state runner-up Austin Lake Travis.
Oliver was rated as a consensus five-star recruit and was ranked among the top players in his class. Receiving offers from a multitude of powerhouse schools, including Alabama, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas A&M, Oliver chose to play college football at the University of Houston, becoming the first recruit rated by ESPN as a five-star to commit to a school outside the Power Five conferences.
College career
Oliver became an immediate starter his true freshman year at Houston in 2016. He started all 12 games during the regular season, recording 60 tackles and five sacks. He was named the winner of the Bill Willis Trophy, becoming the first freshman to win the award.
In 2017, Oliver's sophomore season, he was selected to the Walter Camp All-America first team and won the Outland Trophy, presented to the nation's top interior lineman.
Following his junior year in 2018, Oliver decided to forgo his senior year and enter the 2019 NFL draft.
Personal life
A native of Houston, Texas, Oliver is an avid horseback rider.
On May 16, 2020, Oliver was arrested in Houston on charges of driving while intoxicated and unlawfully carrying a weapon and held in Montgomery County Jail before posting bail the next day. The charges were dismissed in July due to lack of evidence. Later reflecting on the arrest, Oliver stated that he felt "violated" and recorded a 0.00% on his breathalyzer test.
In August 2026, it was announced by the Buffalo Bills and local authorities that Oliver's 2-year-old son had drowned in a pool at the family's Texas home and died on June 28. The incident was declared an accident. The announcement came after Tony Farmer, an independent podcaster, leaked the matter despite the Bills organization and Oliver's family keeping it private.
