Princeton’s veteran edge-setting linebacker with proven backfield disruption
In the 2016 season, Birk Olson was a steady, physical Princeton linebacker who earned All-Ivy League honorable mention after posting 19 tackles with 5.5 tackles for loss, plus a sack and two fumble recoveries; in the 2015 season, he added 42 tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss. He stood out for his inside-outside versatility, aggressive playmaking, and knack for showing up in big moments, especially against the run. The knock? His best-known production comes from earlier Princeton seasons, so fit depends on whether a team wants a tough, assignment-sound linebacker with proven disruption rather than a pure sideline-to-sideline burner.
