John Olmstead has big dreams, Rich Hilliard says. Dreams of playing football at the highest level. But Hilliard, who coaches Olmstead at Saint Joseph High School in Metuchen, N.J., said that the 4-star offensive lineman will exercise prudence and maturity when making his college decision.
Nebraska, which made Olmstead’s list of top-10 schools last month, will be among those contenders. During spring break this week, Olmstead is checking out several schools. On Tuesday, he was at LSU and spent Wednesday at Ole Miss. Olmstead’s unofficial visit with Nebraska will commence Friday. He wraps up his five-school swing with visits to Michigan and Notre Dame next week.
“A lot of Big Ten schools were early with him,” Hilliard told Land of 10. “That’s what really struck an interest.”
Ohio State, Wisconsin and Minnesota are also in the running for Olmstead, who is the No. 18 tackle and No. 168 overall Class of 2019 prospect in the 247Sports composite rankings.
