When defensive coordinator Blake Baker left Missouri for LSU, Olsen was brought along.
In 2025, AJ Haulcy earned All-American honors playing for Olsen on Baker’s defense. The Tigers secondary returns Tamarcus Cooley and Dashawn Spears at the safety spot and brought in Bouse State transfer Ty Benefield.
LSU will begin spring football practice March 24.
