Blind long snapper gets in game for USC

[Kelly the Dog]

Apparently been part of the program awhile. Been blind since he was 12. Never snapped in a real game before. They let him in for the last PAT. Had good snap. Pretty cool moment.

Awesome. I remember when they first aired this story on espn years ago. Always been pulling for Jake. Kid has the heart of a lion.

I saw this on E:60 he's been a USC fan since he was a little kid. He had cancer that affected one of his eyes and had it removed. Years later it came back and they had to remove his other eye. It was sad but the kid was like I'll get through just like I did before.

 

I remember his father and he would still play catch and his father would clap when running a route so he knew where to throw it.

 

Cancer sucks ass.

Kid has a hell of a heart in him. Nice work Jake.

I love long-snapping, of all the things I didn't football it was definitely my favorite
