Kenneth Olson was the signal caller for some of the most successful Valpo football teams in program history.

Olson’s career came to a triumphant close with the 1932 campaign as he quarterbacked the Brown and Gold to a perfect 7-0 record, one of just two undefeated seasons in program history. He was also a team captain that year and voted team MVP by his teammates.

Olson spent three seasons as the program’s starting quarterback. He amassed 20 wins over his final 21 games at the helm of the Valpo offense, including an 8-1 record in 1931 in addition to the perfect 1932 season.

A three-sport athlete during his time at Valpo, Olson also played basketball and baseball. He graduated from Valparaiso University in 1933.
