You appear to be correct. He's played 3 seasons, so he'd be a Jack Gibbens type addition, I guess.

And 10.5 tackles for a loss this season. Our highest number for that stat is 4.5 shared by Sori Martin, Terrell Smith, and Striggow.
 


Is Oliver gone or does he have one more year?

Were some speculating he may leave after this year though?

I may have just said with him being a 6th year next season, it's not always a given that a player will take the extra year. But to this point, obviously no steam to him leaving. Obviously, if we bring in a transfer LB and Oliver doesn't like his standing, he would be free to transfer (even after spring ball).
