The Bemidji State University football team continues preparations for the opener on September 1st against Upper Iowa.

Last year, true freshman defensive back Gunner Olszewski made a splash. He was named the NSIC North Division defensive newcomer of the year. Olszewski led Bemidji State in 2015 with 85 total tackles and seven interceptions. His interception total ranked second in the NSIC and second on the BSU all-time single-season record list. After recording a career high and BSU single-game record three interceptions at Minot State University Oct. 31, he was named NSIC Defensive Player of the Week and D2Football.com Defensive Player of the Week.
