Blind USC senior walks the football field for the last time as a Trojan

The Olson Family(LOS ANGELES) — A blind football player at the University of Southern California walked on the field for the last time recently.

Jake Olson, who played as a long snapper for the USC Trojans, was accompanied by his father and his guide dog as he entered the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Nov. 24.

The college senior was greeted by cheers.

Olson was 10 months old when he lost his left eye due to retinoblastoma. He said he battled cancer in his right eye eight times before he was forced to go completely blind in 2009. He was 12 years old.

“We fought so hard and yet cancer wins. Then it’s like, ‘Well, I’m gonna experience something that no one else can experience,'” he told ESPN.

Olson never gave up hoping that he’d play football. He said he learned about the position of long snapper and worked tirelessly at it until he made the football team at Lutheran High School in Orange County.

After high school in 2015, Olson walked onto the USC team as a freshman. He, the team and its head coach had already formed a bond: Before Olson lost his right eye, he’d been invited to watch the team practice.

On the field for USC, Olson’s teammates supported him by clapping to let him know the distance of the snap and then tapping on his leg to let him know when he could snap.

At the age of 20, he made his debut as a Trojan long snapper in a match against Western Michigan University in 2017 and has continued to defy the odds, playing golf, becoming a motivational speaker and writing two books.

On Nov. 21, he was named the recipient of the 2018 Walter Camp Football Foundation’s Award of Perseverance.

Video shows Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt shoving, kicking woman

Peter G. Aiken/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was sent home from the team facility Friday after video released by TMZ shows him shoving and kicking a woman during a February incident at a Cleveland hotel.

In the February 10 video, Hunt and the woman are seen yelling at each other, before being separated by several people. Hunt then pushes the woman, who hits him in the face.

Two men escort Hunt away from the woman. Hunt then charges out, colliding with the man, who knocks the woman over, before Hunt kicks the woman in the leg.

Cleveland Police were called to the hotel, but no arrests were made.

In August, Hunt addressed the reports of the February incident and one in which he was accused of punching a man. Hunt said he learned from the incidents, but was focused on football.

Kansas City owner Dan Hunt also addressed Hunt’s situation.

“Kareem is a young man, second year in the league, obviously had a very big year on the field last year,” Clark Hunt said. “I’m sure he learned some lessons this offseason and hopefully won’t be in those kind of situations in the future.”

Hunt also said the he did not expect Hunt to be suspended by the league.
