Personal Life
Southern Lehigh coach Phil Sams doesn't hold back when talking about Andrew Olesh. In fact, Sams flat out gushes about him. “He’s a stud,” Sams told On3. “He’s an excellent football player. He’s a playmaker. He gets better every year. His body has changed. He puts time in the weight room. He does everything he can to maximize himself as a football player. He dominated as a junior. As a sophomore, he had a good year, too. But now, you put the ball in the air, you know he’s going to get it even if there are two or three guys there. That’s the type of attention he brings. We play some teams that might let him catch a ball or two, but then, they’ll put two or three on him. He’s a great player for us.” Olesh caught 53 passes for 973 yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior. "He’s very dynamic for our level," Sams said. "He has great hands. He can catch a ball anywhere. His catch radius is big. He’s fast. People don’t realize how fast he is. You put the ball in the air, and you think you’re going to overthrow him, and he tracks it down. He’s just so big and runs great routes as far as getting in and out of breaks. He teaches our other kids the routes. He maximizes himself and helps everybody out.”
