Mike Huguenin of NFL.com reports that Aaron Golub, a high school long snapper from Massachusetts, has been offered a preferred walk-on spot from Tulane University. He also happens to be legally blind.

He is completely blind in his left eye and only has a tiny bit of vision in his right. From Golub's coach, Chris Rubio:

“For reference, close one eye and then make a fist with a hole (the) size of a dime and put the opening to your eye. That is Aaron’s continuous view.”

Here’s a clip of Golub in action:
