Head Coach Beau Baldwin on Olson-Urbon: “He’s versatile in that he can play inside or outside. He reminds us of some of the very good slot receivers we’ve had, but he also has the speed and stride length to go outside as well, and is good getting in and out of his breaks. He has very good athleticism and will fit very well in our program on-and-off the field. He has a great attitude and work ethic in the classroom. He’s also a very good basketball player, so he shows hand-eye coordination and overall versatility in what he can do athletically. We’re excited to sign Kyle and what he can bring to our receiving corp.
