Blind Long Snapper Jake Olson Seeking Clearance from NCAA to Play at USC

The story of blind long snapper Jake Olson has made its rounds to all corners of the sporting world after he graduated high school and prepared for his freshman year at USC this fall. But he is still waiting to be cleared to hit the field, as an NCAA rule is keeping him from the Trojans, according to Kayla Lombardo of SI.com.

Olson accepted a Swim With Mike scholarship, which is given to physically challenged athletes, to attend USC and announced his intentions to join the Trojans for the 2015 season, per Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times.
