Vandegrift Voice announcement about Wiley Olson:

Wiley Olson will stay closer to home, committing to Southern Methodist University in Dallas. He will join the Mustangs as a kicker and punter while studying business at the Cox School of Business.

The size and feel of SMU’s campus made an immediate impression, but what sealed the deal was the school’s commitment to preparing athletes for life beyond football. Olson pointed to a program called “Life After Ball,” which connects players with career opportunities and professional development. 

His experiences the past four years also shaped his decision. From state championship appearances to challenging AP courses, Olson feels ready for the academic and athletic expectations awaiting him in Dallas. According to Olson, playing under pressure has been especially important for his position. “You can’t go in these big games and fold under pressure,” Olson explained. “When you mess up, you can’t hang your head low. You just have to be level-headed at all times.” 

Olson is also eager to expand his role off the field. He envisions using his platform as a student-athlete to contribute to both the SMU community and the city of Dallas.
