Will Ed Oliver be an All American as a true freshman?

Not just a ‘Freshman All American’ (which I expect him to be) but will Big Ed be an overall AA this year?

Can’t find it now but there was a pic from UH that showed Ed leading a bunch of national categories. This would be really incredible and big for UH.

Also, when was UH’s last All American?

He should be, name a better NT.

The last D-lineman with this much hype around him his freshman season was Clowney. He had a great freshman year, but only made All-American his sophomore and junior seasons. Oliver already has better stats than Clowney did, but of course SEC vs AAC. Oliver will end up with twice as many tackles and tackles for a loss. Clowney had 8 sacks and 5 forced fumbles, Oliver currently has 5 and 3. I will also point out Clowney was a DE. I cannot think of any nose tackle who has played like this.

Freshman vs. Senior year. Suh is a bad guy. Big Ed is a good guy.
