A well-known, upper-tier name well established in the 2027 MN ranking’s Big Board, I’ve had the pleasure of watching Stillwater’s Andrew Olson Andrew Olson 6'2" | 265 lbs | DL Stillwater | 2027 State MN wrestle for the LOADED Ponies‘ wrestling squad a few times throughout his budding career, most recently at The Clash in La Crosse. Ranked 2nd in 285AA at the time of The Guillotine’s January 22nd rankings update, Olson is currently sitting at #5 in the state and does not have another ranked heavyweight in Section 4, paving his way for a chance at a state title.

A rising three-year starter with a decorated athletic resume both on and off the mat, Olson is a 3-4 DT and true NG who is a gap-plugger and beast in the middle of MN 6A defensive line. The 275ish-pounder possesses a strong lower body and the balance to help him eat cut tackles off the snap at the LOS, great base and that can hold a gap, fight, and make tackles through contact, whether that’s an arm tackle or post-shock/shed when he can square up a ball carrier in the hole. Olson displays lead in his hands good play speed for his size, can unlock his hips, and drives his feet and hand fights for optimal hand positioning with success. On the mat, he’s one of the more accomplished on this talented list, placing 5th in Greco and 8th in Freestyle to earn All-American honors in both disciplines this past summer at the esteemed Fargo tournament. Olson is also a 2024-25 state entrant, and the MN #1 tournament heavyweight winner, besting current MN 285 #1 ranked Sawyer Schendel of Milaca 1-0. Can’t wait to see this dude make some noise at the state tourney soon.
