This is not something you see every day in college football.
Jake Olson, who has been blind since age 12 according to the Pac-12 Network, snapped the ball for the first time in a live game on Saturday when USC beat Western Michigan 49-31.
The score was 48-31 late in the fourth quarter until Olson helped make that final point possible when he snapped the ball for the Trojans. Pretty cool.

This is anything but a regular PAT.
