DITR: QB Ashton Oliver, St. Martin’s Episcopal Saints

Ashton Oliver is the quarterback for the St. Martin Saints and a key player on both sides of the ball, also serving as a free safety. As a senior, Ashton brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the team. He has tremendous confidence in his offensive line, acknowledging the dedication and effort they’ve put in throughout the off-season. As the season goes on, he is eager to translate that hard work into success on the field. For Ashton, achieving a championship ring and elevating his game to the next level are top priorities this year, and he is determined to lead his team to victory. I got an opportunity to interview this young star and he was very insightful on what he had to say.
