An undrafted Youngstown State transfer who fought his way from the Titans practice squad onto the active roster as a rookie.
Bryce Oliver's path to Tennessee ran through Kentucky and a transfer to Youngstown State, where he rewrote the program's touchdown record book. Undrafted in 2024, he had to earn a practice squad promotion just to see the field, and he has spent his short pro career fighting for reps behind the Titans' established receivers.
Path to the league
Oliver began his college career at Kentucky, catching six passes for 111 yards and a touchdown as a sophomore before transferring to Youngstown State after a run of injuries. He went undrafted in 2024 and signed with the Titans as a free agent, forcing his way onto the 53-man roster after an August stint on the practice squad.
Career highlights
At Youngstown State, Oliver broke out in 2022 with 59 catches for 821 yards and 10 touchdowns, earning first-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference honors. As a senior in 2023 he set the school's career receiving touchdown record with 26, finishing his three seasons there with 147 receptions for 2,065 yards.
2025 season recap
Oliver opened 2025 in a depth role behind Tennessee's top wideouts before a knee injury landed him on injured reserve on November 15. He was activated off IR on January 3, 2026, in time for the regular-season finale against Jacksonville, closing out a season limited mostly by health rather than performance.
