Congratulations to the kid for a great career and winning the Buck Buchanan.
I agree. Yes, their system is set up to funnel the ball to the LBs. Yes, I think that they overinflate the tackle statistic at the UM home games. But bottom line is that Olson is a VERY good player, and if he doesn't get drafted it would be very shocking.ilovethecats wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 9:46 amI think he's a hell of a player and I'd be SHOCKED if he went undrafted.
But didn’t he have like 15+ tackles against us with our stat takers at home? If he had 179 tackles on the year, and half of those were away games, his production must have been just as good on the road as it was at home. I’ve watched him a few games and was blown away with how good he is.HelenaCat95 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 9:56 amI agree. Yes, their system is set up to funnel the ball to the LBs.

ya, if you take away the inflated tackle stats UM has produced forever, I don't know how you can deny the kid was an absolute stud. I don't know what else you look for in a LB to be honest. He had a motor that literally would not quit. He's around the ball every single play. He has deceptive speed. He doesn't miss tackles. His football IQ is awesome. He's a stud in the weight room. And for good measure a good student and by all accounts a great kid.ibleedblue wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 2:25 pmBut didn’t he have like 15+ tackles against us with our stat takers at home?
