Another CT college quarterback is heading to NFL rookie camp

Quarterback Brady Olson, who led Central Connecticut’s football team to back-to-back conference championships and FCS playoff appearances, has been invited to the Buffalo Bills’ rookie camp.

Olson will join former UConn receiver Skyler Bell, picked in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, at the team’s training facility in Orchard Park, N.Y., May 9-10.

Olson, 6 feet 4 and 200, a Massachusetts native, transferred from UMass and became the Blue Devils’ starter in 2024. Last season, he completed 59.2 percent of his passes for 3,132 yards, 25 touchdowns and seven interceptions. CCSU won 11 of 13 conference games with Olson under center, losing close FCS first-round playoff game at Rhode Island both years.

One of Olson’s predecessors as Central quarterback, Jake Dolegala, had NFL opportunities with the Bengals, Patriots, Packers and Dolphins in 2019, ’20 and ’21, and has been playing in the CFL the last several years.

Buffalo has an established star, Josh Allen, at quarterback, with Kyle Alllen, who has been in the league since 2018, and Shane Buechele, who has been a pro since ’21, also on their current roster.

UConn quarterback Joe Fagnano was invited to Ravens rookie came, which is this weekend.
