USC’s blind long snapper got a standing ovation during the Trojans’ spring game
Last season, Jake Olson, a blind long snapper, walked on as the USC long snapper. He did have experience prior to that, having played for Orange Lutheran. He tweeted how excited he was being a part of the team and not just being a fan of his dream school.
On Saturday, he hit took the field for USC’s spring game at the Coliseum and delivered a few snaps, which were as good as his first just a few months ago. He even got a standing ovation.
