Original Text

Miami quarterback Kevin Olsen continued a tumultuous start to his tenure with the Miami Hurricanes.

WSVN-TV announced Olsen was arrested, while also providing his mugshot: 

Andy Slater of 940-AM WINZ and Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald passed along more information:

WPLG 10 News shared an image of Olsen leaving jail:

Miami was quick to discipline Olsen following the arrest, according to ESPN's Joe Schad:

Olsen started the offseason with hopes of playing a crucial role on the team, but was suspended for the season opener. Brad Kaaya earned the starting nod and has led the Hurricanes to a 2-1 record thus far.

Prior to the recent arrest, Olsen was improving in the eyes of coach Al Golden. Susan Miller Degnan of the Miami Herald provided a statement from Golden discussing Olsen last month:

"

Kevin has made a lot of progress this summer, he really has. He grew a lot as a person, so I’m anxious to see that [Tuesday]. That’s what I want to see, just how much he’s grown.

Just being in meetings, I can hear him. He’s more vocal, he’s more confident, understands the system a lot better and has had a lot of opportunities to grow since the spring.

"

With Kaaya still the starter and improving over the last two games, this shouldn't impact Miami on the field. While Olsen may have provided more depth, the position is set with others behind Kaaya looking for snaps.

As for Olsen, the former 4-star quarterback's career is now up in the air. Even if he can recover from the recent arrest, overtaking Kaaya and others for a role on the team seems like a tall task for the redshirt freshman.
