I don't know why, but I have the feeling we'll be hearing from this kid in the coaching ranks in about 10-15 years.

Former Irmo High standout turns the page after a career-ending injury
By STEVE WISEMAN - swiseman@thestate.com
It started as a nagging pain in his foot a year ago. No problem, Aram Olson thought. He was a 6-foot-2, 240-pound football player, after all.
One year later, now that the source of that pain is known, the proper verb tense to describe Olson?s career is the past tense.
What was supposed to be the season he ascended to the starting fullback spot at Ohio State instead will be the first one during which Olson will be an ex-football player.
The Irmo High graduate, an Ohio State junior, has a navicular stress fracture. That means his foot no longer could handle the pounding it would absorb if Olson were to do what is required of a fullback: run 10 yards at full speed and smash into a 250-pound-plus defender.
?He wanted to play football,? said Dick Tressel, Ohio State?s running backs coach and the older brother of head coach Jim Tressel. ?A couple of doctors in a row said, ?This really isn?t going to get better.? That was a little hard for him. His goals were to be a great football player as well as getting a great education.
?He?s comfortable with it; I don?t think he?s happy about it.?
After a series of meetings last spring with doctors, including a specialist, the reality hit home and he moved on. Having his career end at age 20 didn?t come easy.
?I came to grips with it a long time ago,? Olson said this week. ?At first, (it was) kind of shocking. Now I see I have a whole new opportunity.?
That opportunity is a career in strength and conditioning. Ohio State is honoring his scholarship, and Olson is pursuing a degree in sports and leisure studies with plans to attend graduate school for exercise science.
This season, he will assist the team?s strength and conditioning staff to gain experience.

Have to really feel for the kid in this situation. I guarantee that Aram had been looking ahead to this season since he signed.
Best of luck to Aram.
