Expert Analysis
Ed OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
Oliver certainly has a nose for the football. He’ll be a great fit for a team that uses a lot of zone coverage in their defensive scheme. Oliver’s highlights showcase his ability to break on the football and cause incompletions when passes come his way. A lot of that has to do with his ability to read the quarterback’s eyes and understanding route concepts. He’s a strong tackler as well. A strong start to his senior-year will be crucial for him to get some late Division I offers.

Taamir is a player I recently got to see at a Howard Co. 7v7 and combined with my live eval and his sophomore film, he is a player that could sky rocket in recruiting this year. Made All County / All Region CB this past fall and finished the season with 3 INTS, 3 Def. TDs and 15 PBUs. Taamir is a physical and aggressive CB, who can also play as rover SS. He has a frame that should fill out nicely and end up being a thick strong built 190lbs+ type player. Taamir has oily hips and is quick to drop his weight and explode out to break on the ball. Shows good instincts and ball skills, always getting his hands on the pass. Now want to see him turn some of those PBUs into more INTs. He is a high motor, high energy player who is not scared to mix it up. He can jam press receivers out of the play, supports the run and is a strong tackler.
Taamir has a self reported 4.54 40 and if he put another strong season together and show off the speed at camps next summer, he will be a no doubt G5/FCS level DB and a Power 4 look player. He has the mindset on the field, he has the frame and has the tools that as he continues to develop his game will allow him to be a big time impact player. His versatility will also benefit him as a recruit, could be looked at a outside or slot CB as well as a SS. Can’t wait to see more of him and a pretty loaded defensive back group over at Oakland Mills this upcoming season.
