Navy sophomore quarterback Perry Olsen entered the transfer portal on Friday afternoon, apparently unhappy about having to compete with Dalen Morris for the starting job.
Scott Strasmeier, Navy’s senior associate athletic director for sports information and football contact, confirmed to The Capital that Olsen has left the team and intends to transfer.
Olsen’s decision comes one day after offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper said Navy would be evaluating the position but declined to say the competition for the starting spot had been reopened.
Olsen was the backup behind Malcolm Perry last season and entered preseason camp atop the depth chart.
