Former Navy quarterback Perry Olsen headed to North Alabama, cites issues with OC Ivin Jasper

Olsen announced via Twitter on Wednesday that he has committed to continue his football career at North Alabama of the Big South Conference.

Olsen said North Alabama began recruiting him ardently since shortly after he entered the transfer portal on Sept. 11. Assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Colby Ellis was persistent in his pursuit on behalf of the quarterback on behalf of Lions.

“North Alabama showed a lot of belief in me,” Olsen said. “I’m excited about this opportunity and am going to try to make the most out of it. I just want to get out there and play football again.
