A preferred walk-on wide receiver commit for Iowa, Isaiah Oliver Isaiah Oliver 6'0" | 195 lbs | WR Waukee Northwest | 2026 State IA showed why on several receptions against Valley. Catching a pass over the middle from Heitland that kept an initial drive moving for Northwest, Oliver came out ready to roll and showed it on the Wolves’ first drive. Later on, he made another critical catch on a shot play, where he beat his defender deep and made an excellent play on an under-thrown ball, going up and bringing it down despite a defender being draped all over him.

Playing the majority of his snaps on offense, Oliver could easily be factored into the game more for the Wolves on that side, whether it be jet sweeps, swing passes or screens. He also plays some snaps on defense, and one can see potential for him on that side of the ball, too, if Phil Parker decides to flip him to defense when he arrives in Iowa City.
