89-year-old Kansas fan scores huge rushing touchdown in alumni game

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

This is so cool. 89-year-old Bryan Sperry showed that he’s still got some moves by running for a long touchdown during Kansas’ alumni game over the weekend. He’s got a pretty good 40-time for an octogenarian!

Sperry was all smiles while rumbling down the field leaving defenders in his wake, and his daughter commented on the video explaining what the moment meant to her dad.

“This is my 89 year old Dad. He played for KU after WW II. He and his brother Kenneth Sperry were on the team together and played in the Orange Bowl. As you can see from his face, he loves KU and he loves football. It was a great day for him and our family.”

Well done, Kansas.
