Olsen Named to Prestigious All-America Team

Star Wayne Hills quarterback Kevin Olsen has been selected to play in the 2013 Under Armour All-America High School Football Game.

The sixth-annual game will feature the best high school football players in the United States.

Each of the 90 participants selected will receive an official jersey for being selected. Olsen, a senior, will receive his Thursday at a special ceremony with his coach and father Chris.

American Family Insurance is sponsoring the game. As a result of sponsoring the event, the company is working to raise awareness about teenage driving safety.

Olsen is currently ranked fifth in ESPN’s Top 100 Quarterbacks. His brother Greg, who also went to Hills and was coached by his father, is a tight end for the NFL’s Carolina Panthers.

Olsen has missed the last few games with a broken bone in his foot. He is expected to miss six to eight weeks. He and his family are the subject of MSG Varsity’s first ever documentary “New Jersey’s Last Patriot.” He verbally committed to play for the University of Miami next fall.

Olsen was named one of the top 11 signal callers in the country at the Elite 11 quarterback camp. The results were televised in August.
