BIOGRAPHY: Two-year starter awarded all-Conference honors as a junior. Struggled with a foot injury last season and missed two games.
POSITIVES: Big-body blocker who easily rides defenders from their angle of attack. Strong at the point, steers opponents from the play,
and anchors in pass protection. Keeps his feet moving, stays square, and controls opponents once he gets his hands on them.
Keeps his head on a swivel, and helps out teammates. Makes good use of blocking angles and body positioning.
NEGATIVES: Must improve his blocking balance. Slow to adjust and struggles facing nimble opponents. Limited a small area, and lacks ability
in space.
ANALYSIS: Olson offers good size as well as growth potential for the next level. If he stays healthy and improves the details of his
game, he has possibilities as a backup guard at the next level.
