Q&A: Gopher Commit Conner Olson on Tracy Claeys: "happy to play for him the next four years or so."

Conner Olson, a 6-foot-5, 275-pound senior tackle from Monticello (MN) High, committed to Minnesota last May. Olson was named to the Minnesota Vikings All-State team at a recent Vikings game.

Olson helped lead the Magic to an 8-2 mark this past season, losing to Rogers 36-20 in the second round of the Class AAAAA, Section 6 playoffs.

Gopher Hole caught up with Olson to learn the latest on his senior season and upcoming career at Minnesota.

Gopher Hole: It was a terrific honor to be naming to the Minnesota Viking All-State team and you had several other honors like the KARE-11 All Metro team.
