Here's a decent summary (by 247):
This is likely a good pickup for us, especially since we have Helm and Wolfe for your more traditional TE role.
So BOOM!

Kyle Oliver has been one of the fastest rising prospects this spring as a tight end. The catch is that he's never played tight end. He's been a wide receiver in his high school's offense and it wasn't until people started looking at him in the context of a tight end that his recruitment really took off. At 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, Oliver possesses very good hands and ball skills, he can run crisp routes and he can make plays over smaller defenders. What he's lacking is experience in the blocking game as an in-line player. There may have been an adjustment period for Oliver in a true pro-style system that uses the more traditional tight end but at Tennessee with the spread system, he should be able to quickly become a factor as a mismatch player that can attack a defense from a number of different places in the pass game.
Back in May, I wrote about Oliver as a player who's best case scenario could be Eric Ebron in the right offense. In Tennessee, he's found the right offense.
