Longtime USC fan Jake Olson announced late Monday he's going to live out a dream by joining the Trojans starting Tuesday. He bonded with the program six years ago while losing his eyesight, but that didn't stop him from feeling at home on the field.
Olson made the inspirational declaration on social media, celebrating his place as a USC player. He wrote: "Tomorrow I walk out onto Howard Jones field not as a fan or honorary member, but as a player for the USC Trojans!"
Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports reports a USC spokesperson confirmed Olson would likely be at practice Tuesday, but he couldn't clarify his roster status.
