Q&A: Conner Olson on Committing to Gophers: "It was just a great moment in my life."

Conner Olson, a 6-foot-5, 275-pound junior tackle from Monticello (MN) High, became the latest in-state product to commit to Minnesota when he recently picked the home state school.

Olson helped lead the Magic to a 6-4 mark last season, losing to St. Michael-Albertville 27-7 in the second round of the Class AAAAA, Section 6 playoffs.
