One of the top kicking prospects in the country, Jack Olsen, has now officially committed to Michigan State, and he’s wearing #82, which is awesome for a kicker. With Olsen’s commitment, Mark Dantonio has now found his replacement for sure-footed kicker Matt Coghlin.
Olsen is currently the #3 ranked kicker by Chris Sailer Kicking and #14 by Kohl’s Kicking.
Here is what Kohl’s Kicking had to say about Olsen:
“Olsen recently attended the 2019 Spring Showcase in Chicago. He continues to show that he is one of the most talented in his class. Olsen charted well on FG’s and has great lift on his FG’s. His HS resume is very impressive. Olsen is a very recruitable player who will draw interest from multiple D1 programs. He’s also a very good punter. Olsen attended the Winter Showcase Camp in December of 2018. Olsen did a great job in both kicking and punting at that event. He earned a 5-star rating as kicker by hitting big kick off’s and showing good consistency on field goals. His punting was also outstanding in the in winter of 2018. Olsen had an amazing 22 made field goals made this past season as well. He is someone to follow and to keep an eye on this summer!”
