We not only beat out Army and Wyoming, but also continued our dominance over the school up north.

Olson was on the Minnesota AP all-state first team

He was also on the Star Tribune Metro Dream Team...here is what they say about him...


Grant Olson, Wayzata, 6-2, 220: Has an uncanny knack for shooting the right gap. He led the Trojans in tackles last year (128)

[westnodak93bison]

What position is he best suited for? MLB or OLB?

from GOPHERHOLE:

"FWIW I think Olson is better than Tarpley(stanford recruit). I was really hoping he would walk on at Minnesota. "

85 can be on scholarship (on think)

Here is a little interview with Olson.

[BisonNeil]

I think he is the kind of LB the Bison have been looking for to round out this class. As I said before, now we need Vraa and the 2010 class, assuming they all sign, will be another very good one, three in a row!!

[HandoEX]

I think he is the kind of LB the Bison have been looking for to round out this class. As I said before, now we need Vraa and the 2010 class, assuming they all sign, will be another very good one, three in a row!!

No love for the class that brought in Holloway, Johnson, McNorton, Richard, Boyer, Veldman, etc? That was a pretty solid class too:)

This is a fantastic get for the Bison. Does this mean Berry is most likely not coming?

[AEBison1998]

The question about Berry is a good one. I'm thinking it means he doesn't come. Hallstrom said that the Bison were looking at Olson for Will position because they were happy with the MLB (Emmanuel). I have to assume Carter and the kid from Grand Forks are the Mike position to duke it out. And I don't know if Beck is a LB or a safety.

Here's my precition for the last 4 spots

Kicker (to be named later) - an absolute must
Dixon (CB)-I think they need another CB in this class
Vraa (WR)- I think they need another WR in this class
Allen (RB) (but maybe this is considered the wildcard spot by the coaches...a spot we don't have a glaring hole, but take the best athlete they can get to add depth....then it could be Blow or Berry or Esala) (CB, LB, OL)

It's interesting. And just plain fun.

[BisoninNWMN]

He looks like a good one.

Very good recruiting class so far.

GO BISON

[MNLonghorn10]

should make a nice backbone to the defense along with evans.

[bizonboy]

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know you got one heck of a kid. I went to high school with him at Wayzata, and graduated last year (Class of 09) Not only is he a great kid personality wise, but he is a hard worker, and a big part of our state title last year.

That class was even better, but we seem to have lost a lot of good players from that class already. I guess I'm saying, the job of identifying talent and getting them to come was better starting with this class. But they weren't able to keep all of them here, and we had some bad luck with injuries. What could we have done with a few more LB's this year?

-Eddie Beson (still here but his knee has been under the knife twice already. He hasn't YET been what he could have been.)
-Josh Hazley-Freeman
-Luke Senger
-Dillon Forbes (now back with the team)
-George Danikowitz
-Seth Krueger
-Blake Sczepanski
-Melvin Thomas III
-Jordan Vadnais (back problems)
-Chris Wellenstein (back problems)

I'm just feeling better that we have more than one option to start the year. I also think Jose will greatly benefit from playing last year, going into the off season knowing that he's in the lead, then spring ball and summer workouts. He wasn't overly impressive last year, but he was a freshman. He's now a red-shirt sophomore with solid game time experience. He's got his OC for a second straight year and let's not forget everyone kept saying this kid is confident, almost to the point of being cocky. I want our QB to have a little swagger. I think he could have a breakout year.

Oh yeah? You know a lot about Brock Jensen huh?? Get to a lot of practices from the west side of the state?? Seriously, we get it, you're a homer, but c'mon dude. We don't even know what Jose is going to be, let alone Jensen/Perez, and Thorton who HASN"T even stepped foot on campus. I have a feeling Jensen is a different kind of QB we haven't seen at NDSU....ever. Plus, like you said, atleast we have a winner....you know because Mertens/Perez/Mohler/Jensen never won anything....in bigger states. Get over ND, please. If Thorton is great, then awesome, I'm happy, but hell dude, quit leg humping so much. I'd rather he never saw the field because that means we have been doing our recruiting homework.

I just hope Thorton doesn't repeat some recent Bison QB history and get an MIP...He already has one of those under his belt during his junior year at BHS...It would be nice if that was out of his system.

Ive also read that his throwing mechanics are in question and whether he can play QB at this level.

[GOB1SON]

I had a good chat with the Century head coach about Thorton.

His take was that Thorton is a very solid athlete, but he was a little skeptical about his ability to transition into a college QB. That doesn't mean he can't.

That being said, I am very, very hopeful that Jensen is the answer, because to be honest, I am not sold on JM as our QB. Don't ask me why, I just didn't see the "it" factor this year. But to be fair, it is very early in his career.

I just want to see a great competition between all the QB's so that they all improve and who knows who starts and who knows who might need to fill in for short or long duty due to an injury to the starter. Second best QB needs to be just below the starter in capabilities. I just don't want any more off field problems and defections. A team stays together!
All that said, I have heard nothing but great things about Brock Jensen from several insiders and from coaches comments. I also have spoke with his dad on several occasions and he is a class act.
Who knows how Brock will perform when challenged at a starter level. I wish him the best and hope all the other QB's give it their best effort.

IMHO, we can and should be reluctant to hype up any incoming FCS player.
We could tear apart nearly every incoming player's game. They all have potential and only time will tell if they will develop. Some have physical limitations and some may not have the it factor. To be fair all these kids need two years.

Winger is my hero. His mustache was a tool of fear deployed by the principals to make the rabble fall in line. Algebra II was never more intimidating than it was with the 'Stache of Power staring you in the face.

Speaking of mustaches which maintain world order, I notice someone has removed the statement of Dale Lennon being the owner-operator of Dale Lennon's Mustache on Wikipedia. The article itself is also curiously absent. This is a problem to any of the non-enlightened.

Anyhow, back to Thorton. I've said it before - my entire high school had an "eff that guy" mentality about him due to his regularly leading the team to destroy us (save for my senior year) even as a sophomore. That's got to be worth...well, something.

great article on Grant!


As a seventh grader in Wayzata, Minn., Grant Olson knew everything about Wayzata High School senior linebacker James Laurinaitis, including his statistics.

North Dakota State isn’t expecting Olson to be Laurinaitis, now with the St. Louis Rams after a standout career at Ohio State. But it’s clear in the early going of fall practice that there are high expectations nonetheless

[ndsubison1]

What's the chance of him starting at MLB and Evans moving to OLB?

[Wacker_in_the_Hall]

I agree - rule of thumb is you don't but I remember in 83 we had a all freshman backfield and won the NC.

[SDbison]

Olson was a man amongst boys in high school. He is mature beyond his years. He is also 6' 1" not 6' 0". Also, my bet he is closer to 225 lbs not 217. If Bohl thinks he is ready he will play.

[Wacker_in_the_Hall]

His height and weight were from freshman check in. He is 6-0 217. And that is before 2 a days. Most athletes lose weight at that time. He may have been a man among boys in high school, now he will be a man among bigger stronger men. If Bohl plays him it will be because he has to. Not because he wants to

That's the perfect size. . .for a safety.

Actually, the Bison have a lot of LB's around 215-220. I suspect that you will see a healthy dose of pulling guards trying to crush some LB's in green jerseys. Pray that the D line closes off those running lanes or it's going to be a loong season with a lot LB's getting pancaked.

That's a giant leap. You take one freak and assume that everyone can do it the same, if only their technique was good. If that were the case, everyone in the NFL would be the size of Winfield. Somehow, it doesn't work out that way. In football, big, fast guys dominate. How's Winfield's technique in fighting off 310 lb pulling guards? Oh yeah, he doesn't have to.

Apparenly you havent' been paying attention to the landscape of college football. LB's are getting smaller and faster every year. This is to counter the spread which we see plenty of in the conference.

William and Mary had one of the best D's in the country at our level last year.

Their leading tackler was a 5 11 210lb LB.

Look at Villanova's D they run a hybrid with three lineman and eight Lb/SS type kids running around. They did OK last year.

Quick, someone tell pre-season favorite SIU that the landscape has changed. They have 6 LB's at 230 lbs or heavier. Those guys are going to get KILLED.

[OBDB]

I agree with Wacker. Saw Olson play in high school last year. Great player. He will put up a game fight, but he'll wear down for two reasons: weight and inexperience. A fraction of a second slow reading the play makes a huge difference on the quality of the block a LB has to fend off. Sounds like he'll be learning on the job. Silver lining -- that is the fastest way.

[BisoninNWMN]

If the kid can play, then he should.....period.

Wow, your a prick.

He's a freshman hive.him a break he played great and Phil Hanson said.he.was.tough and fast out.there. lighten up, wow.

My point still stands, we.got 3-4 guys from cities/uminn. Play them!!!!

[bisontwice]

Noticed Craig didn't necessarily agree with Phil though. Just an observation from watching him play, he certainly may be a player in the future but not really ready for prime time yet. He is a freshman and is definitely playing like one as well

Actually, the Bison have a lot of LB's around 215-220. I suspect that you will see a healthy dose of pulling guards trying to crush some LB's in green jerseys. Pray that the D line closes off those running lanes or it's going to be a loong season with a lot LB's getting pancaked.

As predicted: our pint sized LB's are getting killed against the run.
