Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Shayne Olson and I am a freshman at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs, Iowa. I played high school football at Northwood - Kensett High School in Northwood, Iowa. I am now 6'2", 240 lbs, and I run a 4.9 40 yard dash, I bench 320 lbs, and squat 435 lbs. I am eligible to play next season at the next level because I was a qualifier out of high school and have 3 years to play and also my redshirt year. I played every position along the offensive line but I primarily played tackle in high school. On the defensive side of the ball, I play defensive end at Iowa Western and in high school but inside linebacker my senior year and part of my junior year of high school. I feel these are the two postitions that I excel the most at. My sophomore year of high school I started the last half of the season for our team that went to substate and recieved the coach's 12th man award. As a junior, our team tied for a district chamionship and advanced into the second round of the state playoffs. I recieved 1st team all district honors at defensive end and was also nominated for junior MVP of our district on Iowa Preps.com. My senior year, I finished the season with 96 tackles, including 2 sacks at Inside linebacker and was named Defensive Player of The Year by our coach at our yearly award night. I was also named 1st Team All-District and 2nd Team All-State as an offensive lineman. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to play for a good college that takes it's football very seriously and be able to make an impact on the team down the road. Football has always been my favortite sport, and playing at the collegiate level has always been a goal of mine. I love the fans, the atomosphere, the team mentallity and most importantly, I love to play the game. Please contact me if interested.
