He plays tight end and fullback in high school.
Some quotes from Rivals:
"My top five right now in no order is Purdue, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Tulsa and TCU," Olson said. Of his favorites, only Texas A&M hasn't offered. He does hold offers from UTEP, Iowa State, SMU and Mississippi State.
Texas Tech is recruiting him as a tight end or as potentially an offensive lineman.
"I'd like to play tight end but I like run blocking too and I'm good at it. The schools that are in my favorites are all pass oriented teams for the most part and we do the same thing here as Tech does without the large splits on the line. I'll just have to see what happens with the weight program and everything once I start. If it's meant to be for me to play on the line then so be it."
Olson is a self proclaimed dirty work kind of guy and under the radar type that just plays football. He's also real clear about when he'd like to have a decision made too.
"I might not even take an official visit, I might commit by the end or middle of July, I wanted to get it over with before the season starts."
Olson who is originally from Columbus, Ohio will stop over and visit Purdue within the next two weeks while seeing friends in his old hometown.
