Western Kentucky defensive end Dominic Oliver has accepted an invitation to play in The Dream Bowl.

The Dream Bowl is scheduled to be played Sunday at noon CT at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The Dream Bowl brings together standout college seniors from across the country, offering them a unique opportunity to display their talents in front of NFL and CFL scouts. Since its inception, the Dream Bowl has helped over 200 participants earn NFL camp invitations, with many advancing to professional football careers.

Oliver appeared in all 13 games for the Hilltoppers during the 2025 season, helping the team to a 9-4 overall record and a victory over Southern Miss in the 2025 New Orleans Bowl. He recorded 22 tackles during the season, including 3.5 for loss and three sacks.

Oliver transferred to WKU after spending four seasons at San Diego State. He appeared in 33 games for the Aztecs over the three seasons prior to coming to WKU, after redshirting his first season at San Diego State in 2021. He totaled 18 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks during his San Diego State career. His most productive season came in 2024, when he recorded 15 tackles, including 2.5 for loss and 0.5 sacks.

He joins teammates Matthew Henry and Cole Maynard as Hilltoppers to accept invitations to senior all-star games this year. Henry accepted an invitation to the Hula Bowl, while Maynard has accepted an invitation to The American Bowl.
