During training camp, Storm radio broadcaster Rich Roste submitted the following questionnaire to players of the team (SCtoC also submitted a similar questionnaire its own). Roste calls storm games for KWSN AM 1230/KWSN FM 98.1, as well as the Kurtiss Riggs Show every Monday night at 4 p.m. pacific (6 p.m. central). The players' answers here are their direct responses to the questionnaire. The Storm were kind enough to forward these questionnaires to SCtoC for use in this series. We would like to extend our appreciation to Roste and Storm Director of Media Relations Kayley Shade for allowing us to bring these to you here on SCtoC.
We will feature this series throughout the course of the season.
Darrien Oliver is a 6'1" and 330-lb. center and defensive tackle for the Storm. Having attended Chadron St. College (Northwest Nebraska), he is a rookie for the Storm this season. A two-year starter in college at offensive guard, he helped pace an offensive line which allowed the Eagles to allow the fewest sacks in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference during his senior year in 2015. During his junior season, he helped anchor an offensive line which allowed for a 1,000-yard rusher and the second-best rushing attack in the conference. As a high schooler, Oliver helped lead the team to a state championship. He has two sisters and a brother. Oliver wears number 61 for the Storm. His first name is pronounced "Dairy-N."
