Q&A: BYU’s newest member of the radio broadcast talks maturing, the job, his relationship with Kalani Sitake and more.
BYU’s newest member of the radio broadcast talks his own maturation, the job, his relationship with Kalani Sitake and more.
Olsen’s first real day on the job — attending a spring scrimmage last week — was an introduction to the role he is stepping into, and the spotlight that comes with it. He has just become a main touchpoint for a fanbase. In college football, the television crews change each week. But the radio team, that is what is consistent for hardcore fans.
“And lo and behold, I get a call from Greg Wrubell. And I was sitting down in my theater room, and my jaw dropped. Yeah, flooring. I mean, I sat there silent. And I got really emotional about it. And I was like, ‘Wow, what an incredible honor’. And then you start to think, am I capable? Am I ready? You go through all these different emotions and then you just come down to having a lot of gratitude for the opportunity.
You have called bowl games for the last five years as a color analyst, too. Did you ever get approached about a national job calling games? Turning to this job, how will you approach being critical of the team, when you know you are also being paid by BYU? “I think college coaches are like artists to me. They’ve got this field that they’re working on and they have to discover the different mediums that can flash — that are appealing and are successful. And I just, I want to represent that as these guys work their art, you know? And try to do it verbally so that people can enjoy the art. Yeah, instead of just looking at the painting, enjoy the process of the art. Yeah. It’s pretty cool.
