BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Sophomore infielder Jasen Oliver has shown a commitment to athletic success, academic excellence and personal growth in his early time at Indiana University. For his efforts, he was named October's Male Scholar-Athlete of the Month, as announced by the D. Ames Shuel Academic Center and IU's academic services staff.

The Almont, Mich. Native broke onto the scene for the Hoosiers with a phenomenal freshman baseball season in 2024. Oliver recorded 49 hits, 33 runs and 37 RBIs. His 10 home runs on the campaign extended IU' three-year streak of having a freshman hit 10+ home runs. He was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team.

While balancing his commitments on the field, Oliver is working on his undergraduate degree in Sports Marketing and Management. He maintained a 3.7 GPA while appearing in 48 contests with 44 starts for the Hoosiers. He spent his summer playing baseball in the Northwoods League and is now back on campus for his sophomore season.
