Jett Olson Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg's Jett Olson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Olson's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 108 rushing yards dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 67 yards.
For the season, Olson has averaged 7.1 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had nine rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 14.
