While earning his undergraduate degree, Oscar served as President of the African American Student Association and the Student-Athlete Advisory Council, and participated on various campus committees. As a graduate student, Oscar began working as a student-athlete mentor, which eventually led to a full-time position at Boise State University as an Athletics Academic Counselor/Tutorial Coordinator. While at Boise State, he was responsible for monitoring student-athlete eligibility, coordinating the tutorial program, overseeing athletic study halls, conducting class checks, holding academic skills meetings, and teaching as assigned.
As a student-athlete, Oscar was a 3× NCAA All-American in the javelin, breaking both school and conference records. He competed in three Olympic Trials, made a World Championship and Pan Am Games team, and was consistently ranked among the top javelin throwers in the U.S. during his career.
