16. Dante Olson, LB, Montana
Olson was the 2019 Buck Buchanan Award winner, which is given to the most outstanding defensive player in the FCS. A tackling machine at Montana in the last two seasons, Olson has all the goods and could make a lot of teams regret passing on him.
Olson started 25 of 47 games at Montana and during his final season, he set the Big Sky Conference’s single-season record for tackles with 179 and made 26 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, three interceptions, five forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. In the game that put him on the map, Olson registered had 14 tackles against Oregon.
A smart and instinctive ball-hawk, Olson plays in the mold of T.J. Edwards.
