WATCH: USC's blind long snapper sets up an extra point at practice

Often in sports, stories find us during moments of weakness and offer incredible inspiration. It'd be tough to top the motivational narrative of Jake Olson. 

A lifelong USC fan, Olson was given an opportunity to walk-on the USC football team despite losing his eyesight to cancer. Olson was born with retinoblastoma, but Monday night he tweeted: "Tomorrow I walk out onto Howard Jones field not as a fan or honorary member, but as a player for the USC Trojans!"

This impressive young man has given hope to countless fans across the world.
