Former Miami QB Kevin Olsen dismissed from Towson
By Nick Bromberg 5 hours ago Dr. Saturday
Kevin Olsen's career at Towson is over before it began.
The former Miami quarterback has been dismissed from the FCS program for a violation of team rules. He transferred to Towson this winter.
“The relationship we had with the kid and his family has gone on for quite some time, and everybody was pretty much assured that this would work out for the positive,” Towson coach Rob Ambrose said via the Baltimore Sun. “So it’s disappointing for Kevin, it’s disappointing for us, and we’ll just move on.”
Olsen went to Towson after he left Miami following a DUI arrest. He was also cited with having a fake driver's license.
He had a brief and tumultuous tenure with the Hurricanes. Olsen, the brother of current Carolina Panthers tight end and former Miami Hurricane Greg Olsen, was a redshirt freshman in 2014 and had been suspended three times as a Miami player. His suspension in the spring of 2014 helped Brad Kaaya to seize the starting quarterback job for the season.
Ambrose also told the sun that the former four-star recruit wasn't penciled in as the team's starter in 2015.
“It’s a setback in that there’s one less quality player competing for the job,” Ambrose said. “But in truth, he never took a snap here. It’s a setback in that you believed you had a semi-proven commodity as a player who was going to compete and make the team better. But it’s not like he was anointed. He knew he was going to have to compete for the job, and there are some talented guys to compete against.”
