Towson dismisses QB transfer Olsen
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Towson, MD (SportsNetwork.com) - Towson football coach Rob Ambrose said former Miami quarterback Kevin Olsen was dismissed from the Tigers' program recently for a violation of team rules.
Olsen, the younger brother of Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen, had signed with Towson two months ago. The four-star recruit from Wayne, New Jersey, was suspended three times at Miami and left after a DUI arrest.
At Towson, which reached the 2013 FCS national championship game but fell to 4-8 last year, Olsen was expected to challenge returning starter Connor Frazier for No. 1 quarterback duties.

"So it's disappointing for Kevin, it's disappointing for us, and we'll just move on."
