Watch: Blind USC football player shows off awesome swing

Thumbnail

USC blind long-snapper, Jake Olson, made headlines in September when he successfully executed a PAT attempt in the Trojans’ win over Western Michigan.

Despite losing his eyesight at the age of 12 after being born with cancer of the retina, Olson walked on to the team after playing for his high school’s football and golf team.

And from the looks of a recent video of the college sophomore at Topgolf, he’s still got a pretty sweet swing.

With a swing like that, it’s no wonder he can shoot in the 70s.
