The Clemson coaching staff added depth to a thin quarterback position with the addition of Stanford transfer quarterback David Olson Wednesday afternoon.
Olson graduated from Stanford in March and was actively looking for a place to play during his final year of eligibility, and it just so happens that Clemson provided the perfect opportunity.
The Stanford graduate is a native of Columbia, S.C., and was a 4-star prospect coming out of Irmo High School, after passing for 1,857 yards and 18 touchdowns, while rushing for five touchdowns.
After a tumultuous spring for Clemson and its quarterback situation, the 6-3, 220-pound Olson told TigerNet that he reached out to the Clemson coaches.
“I graduated a quarter early from Stanford, so that was in late March,” Olson told TigerNet Wednesday evening. “From there, I was essentially looking around into situations that had one year of eligibility where I could go in and contribute and help a team. I looked at some smaller schools along the way, but I first got in touch with Clemson after the spring game. They had the news break about their quarterback situation and I sent them an email and they got back with me a few days later and they said they were interested. That is how the whole thing got going, and we went on the visit today.”
