Jake Oliver: Rising High School Football Star Breaking Records in Texas
July 21, 2018
Jake Oliver, a receiver from Jesuit College Prep in Dallas, broke the Texas state record for career receptions with 265 catches.
Jake Oliver caught his 265th career pass and broke the Texas state record previously held by Jordan Shipley, who went on to star at Texas. At 6'4" and 200 pounds, the Jesuit College Prep receiver had been a four-year contributor in Dallas.
Oliver's football IQ came from his father, a coach who instilled the game's nuances early. That understanding, combined with his size and consistent production, made him a fixture in the Rangers' offense from his freshman year onward.
