REL QB Olige Leads Tank Like Escape Artist On 4-1 Team
Senior Robert E. Lee quarterback Christian Olige, nicknamed Tank Missile and Bullseye, has made a fierce impact in his first year with REL, guiding a 4-1 overall mark and 2-1 in District 9-5A I after a 28-14 win over Goose Creek Memorial. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound transfer from Dayton has completed 76 of 120 passes for 1,221 yards with 19 touchdowns and two interceptions, while adding 307 rushing yards. Head coach Tim Finn praises his work ethic and growth, noting improved accuracy and poise. Offensive coordinator Jay Cleveland, once his coach, stresses Olige’s coachability and confidence, saying he is now looser, more eager to win, and infectious to teammates. Olige credits mindset and attitude for breaking through past running-leaning offenses.
