Jake Olson’s ambitions just cannot be contained. After making his first live longsnap at the Coliseum this past season for USC Football, the blind super-athlete has set his sights on a new job: quarterback.
“Officially entering my name into the 2018 QB competition,” Olson wrote on Twitter on Monday, posting a highlight video of his skills as a passer.
His release may worry some scouts, but Olson proves he can hit the deep ball, scramble, throw on the run and take a hit while still finding his mark.
Tagging USC head coach Clay Helton, redshirt sophomore quarterback Matt Fink and incoming freshman JT Daniels, Olson laid down a clear challenge to his teammates.
