USC long-snapper Jake Olson got a chance to prove you don’t need to be able to see to play football. Late in the fourth quarter Sunday after USC sealed its 49-31 win over Western Michigan, Olson, who is blind, got his shot to play in a game.
He did not disappoint. And it’s clear just how much the moment meant to the entire USC squad after Olson perfectly executed the snap for the extra point.
Jake Olson was just in at long snapper and the kick was good. So great seeing the way his teammates react. pic.twitter.com/2xxyLEdx3b

It was a magical moment for the team, Olson, his family and friends.
