Aaron DeShawn Oliver:
The Future of Sports Analysis
Alexandra Pieters 336.002
You could say that
Aaron Oliver is just your average college student, but you would be wrong.
Coming from Baltimore, Maryland, Aaron ran the 200, 400, 4 x 1, 4 x 2, and 4 x
4 on the track team for Loyola Blakefield High School, plays intramural flag
football for Frostburg, and is a diehard Indianapolis Colts fan. Regarding
running track, Aaron admits, “It’s something I don’t do anymore. I kind of miss
it though.” Even though Aaron is not involved in track anymore, he still plays
football and watches professional football every weekend. Just talking to him,
it was obvious that his passion for the sport is one-of-a-kind. As a junior,
Aaron is majoring in Mass Communication and minoring in Journalism. Aaron had a
comical answer concerning what he is planning on doing with his degree. “I want
to be one of those people that don’t know what they’re talking about but they
do anyway…I want to be a football analyst,” he said. Talking to Aaron was
effortless. He has the potential to make others believe that his dream in being
a sports analyst is not such a farfetched idea.
If
Aaron had to choose who would be his favorite football player, there is no
doubt that it would be Peyton Manning. Ever since he was eight years old, Aaron
has been watching Peyton play and grow as a quarterback. From the time Manning
was playing for the Tennessee Volunteers at the University of Tennessee to his
current position as a veteran quarterback for the Denver Broncos, Aaron has
been a fan. He says that he is “…Not a Broncos fan but I’m happy to see him
doing well and I only wish the best for him. If he won the Super Bowl, I’d be
happy to see him win.” Aaron went on to say, “I could talk about Peyton Manning
all day.” Aaron Oliver possesses great enthusiasm for Manning, the sport of
football overall, and his seemingly bright future in the field. For more
