1st-Ever Blind College Football Player Mourns the Loss of His Guide Dog


Former USC long snapper Jake Olson, the first-ever blind Division I college football player, mourned the loss of his guide dog and ‘bestest friend’ Quebec

Olson, who lost sight in his left eye before his first birthday and went fully blind at the age of 12, made history when he snapped in two games for the USC Trojans in 2017. “In our 13 years together, Q graduated high school with me, college with me, traveled to 28 states with me, met a US president, played in the Coliseum, ran on countless golf courses, and celebrated The best of times with me while enduring heart break with me,” Olson wrote.
