Butler’s veteran center Hayden Olmsted is a decorated, steady anchor up front
In the 2024 season, Hayden Olmsted earned All-Pioneer Football League Second Team honors and started all 12 games at center, a strong signal of reliability for Butler’s offensive line. He also drew Phil Steele All-PFL Second Team recognition, which backs up the idea that he’s more than just a placeholder—he’s a proven interior leader. At 6-foot-2 and around 295 pounds, he brings the kind of sturdy, battle-tested presence teams love in the middle: communication, consistency, and durability. If you want a smart, dependable OL who can set the tone, he’s your guy.
