Former Michigan State K Jack Olsen Transfers to Northwestern

Former Michigan State kicker Jack Olsen committed to Northwestern Tuesday afternoon.

East Lansing, Mich. – Jack Olsen found a new school on Tuesday afternoon. 

The Illinois native committed to Northwestern after entering the transfer portal on April 25, one day after MSU hosted its spring game. 

"First off, I would like to thank Coach Dantonio and Coach Graham for giving me the opportunity to play football at Michigan State," he wrote via Twitter. "I would also like to thank Coach Tucker and his coaching staff, including strength coaches, academic advisors, nutritionists, trainers, managers, and many others who had an impact on my life. 

"Finally, to my teammates, I will cherish the relationships and countless memories we have made on and off the field and wish MSU football all the best of luck. With that being said, I am extremely excited to announce that I will be coming home to get a world-class education and play football for the Big 10 Champions of the West at Northwestern University."

Olsen signed with Michigan State's 2020 recruiting class, but didn't appear in a game last season.
