History on both sides of the ball
During his first two years at FIU, Thomas-Oliver wasn't locking down receivers. Actually, he was the one hauling in passes as a wideout.
In two seasons on offense, Thomas-Oliver tallied 36 receptions for 489 yards and a touchdown. His first season was impressive enough that he earned a selection to Conference USA's All-Freshman team.
After showing off his DB skills while messing around during a practice in 2017, Thomas-Oliver showed enough promise to convince FIU head coach Butch Davis to switch him over to defense, where he flourished in his final two seasons.
