Expert Analysis
Ian Guerin | Prep Redzone Scout
The 6-foot-4, 295 pounder played mostly guard as a junior, and he developed nicely as the season progressed. His initial pop off the snap is there, as his is ability to finish the play as it extends downfield.
He’s going to shift to tackle for his senior year, and we can’t come up with a legitimate argument against that. Here’s why: Olsen was just a “baby” last fall, according to head coach Logan Hall. He was sandwiched in the interior to get his feet wet, sure, but what was also happening was a massive strength improvement brought about by his commitment to the weight room.
In roughly one calendar year, he increased his squat some 220 pounds, his clean by 100 and his bench by just shy of triple digits. All of those figures come across in his film, and they will continue to do so into his senior year and beyond as his bend improves and he further gets into a rhythm gaining leverage on opposing linemen.
