Chris Olave’s brothers, Josh and Isiah Olave, are his strong supporters and are proud of his achievements. The New Orleans Saints standout is the only one of three brothers to pursue a professional football career. Having said that, Josh and Isiah, who are NCAA football players, have a strong passion for the game. Christian Josiah Olave is an American football wide receiver who currently plays for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL).
In the 2022 NFL draft, he was selected 11th overall (round one). Travon Walker, Aidan Hutchinson, Sauce Gardner, Charles Cross, and Garrett Wilson were also first-round picks that year. In his NFL debut, Olave had three catches for 41 yards and a two-point conversion. In his rookie season, he started nine of 15 games and finished with 72 catches for 1,042 yards and four receiving touchdowns. He is currently under contract with the Saints for four years and $19.2 million, which he signed on May 13, 2022.
Chris Olave’s Siblings Age Gap: Josh and Isiah Olave
The NFL star from California is one of three children born to his parents, LaCausha and Raul Olave. He grew up with his two older brothers, Isiah and Josh Olave. Chris Olave, the youngest of three brothers, was born on June 27, 2000. The Saints wide receiver will be 23 years old in 2023. Isiah and Joshua’s exact dates of birth are unknown, however, they are believed to be in their twenties. Josh’s birthday is on August 15, as previously announced. The age of the Olave brothers is only a few years apart. Isiah, the oldest, is several years older than the NFL great. The age difference between Chris and Josh doesn’t seem that significant.
They all attended the same high school, East Lake High School. Isiah Olave graduated in 2014, Joshua graduated in 2017, and Chris graduated in 2018. They are quite close and often exchange pictures of themselves at family gatherings and holidays. They have been strong for each other. When the Kenner Police Department pulled Chris over for reckless driving in October 2023, his brother Josh defended him on Twitter. However, many comments criticized Josh for failing to deal with traffic violations.
Chris Olave’s Brothers Play College Football
Chris Olave is the only Olave sibling to have signed with the NFL, while his siblings only played college football. Older brother, Isiah, enrolled at the University of California, Davis in 2014 and played until 2018. His senior year with the UC Davis Aggies was the most memorable. He had the third-most hits (66, including 37 solo) among all Aggies. He was honored with the Captain’s Award.
He did not enter the NFL draft after graduating from college, and his professional status is unknown. Josh, on the other hand, spent three seasons (2017-19) at Azusa Pacific University, where he was named All-GNAC Second Team defense and GNAC All-Academic. He transferred to Weber State University in December 2020 and played one season as a cornerback. With a 20-15 win over Idaho State, he guided the Wildcats to their fourth consecutive Big Sky Tournament. He made three tackles (two solo) in a historic victory against Northern Arizona with a 50-yard ‘Hail Mary’ toss.
Chris Olave Family Tree: Parents and Ethnicity
Olave is a naturalized American of mixed ethnic heritage. His father, Raul, is from Cuba, while his mother, LaCusha, is of African-American background. His youth was marked by financial insecurity, as his parents struggled to make ends meet. To make ends meet, the NFL star’s father worked night shifts for two decades, while his mother worked two jobs. Things have changed, and the family seems to be living comfortably. Considering their son Chris makes millions of dollars every season, it seems plausible.
