Hans Olsen still gets BYU fans nodding: rugged interior force, now a vocal Cougar voice
Hans Olsen was a sturdy, high-effort defensive tackle at BYU from 1997–2000, earning All-MWC honors as a senior and showing real playmaking juice with a scoop-and-score against San Diego State in 1999. He’s best remembered as a physical, smart interior lineman with a motor, plus enough football IQ that BYU later tapped him as a radio analyst. If you want a tone-setter in the middle who brings toughness, polish, and old-school Cougar credibility, Olsen checks the box with style.
