Hall of Fame
Don Olson was a standout lineman on both sides of the ball who helped build the Scots into a top football program. Olson was honored on the St. Paul Pioneer Press All-MIAC first team three times while helping lead Macalester to a 4-3-1 record in 1955, 5-4 mark in 1956, and second place 6-1-1 record as a senior in ’57. Mac’s lone defeat during Olson’s senior year was to league champ Concordia, while the Scots enjoyed one-sided wins over St. John’s and St. Thomas. The team’s 6-1-1 record in 1957 is the second-best winning percentage in Mac football history since 1898.
