The former All-State quarterback and national recruit committed to the University of Notre Dame, where he redshirted as a freshman in 2002. Christian transferred to the University of Virginia, where he spent the final four years of his college career.

He finished with 52 completions in 87 attempts for 439 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions.

This is going to be a tough transition for Olsen and his family. With no more games to call for months, he will have to deal with intense grief as he navigates this difficult time.

Aside from his obvious heartbreak, Olsen, who was named the NFL’s favorite announcer, will look to his friends and family to help his mental health going forward.

Prayers to Greg Olsen and his family.
