High-IQ WSU walk-on guard who earned his way onto the Cougars' roster
Olesen is a former Jackson HS guard who walked on at Washington State in 2019-20 and stayed in the program through senior leadership, which signals reliability, maturity, and buy-in more than headline-grabbing box-score production. He brings point-guard size and a steady, team-first profile, and his value is the kind coaches appreciate: understands the role, competes, and can help keep practices sharp and a locker room connected. If your team needs a low-drama, high-accountability backcourt piece rather than a high-usage scorer, he fits that mold well.
