Aaron Golub, legally blind, gets first game action for Tulane
Tulane's Aaron Golub got to make history when he took the field in the fourth quarter Saturday.
Golub, a walk-on long snapper at Tulane, is legally blind. He snapped on Tulane's final extra point of the Green Wave's 45-17 win over Central Florida. He's the first legally blind player to play in an FBS college football game.
"It was a great opportunity," Golub said via NOLA.com. "I'm happy they gave me a shot. It just felt great."
Golub joined the team in the spring of 2014. He has no vision in his right eye and limited vision in his left eye. A previous coach once described Golub's vision as if you closed one eye and then had tunnel vision the size of a dime in the other eye.
Golub said after the game that he treated his game snap just like the thousands of practice snaps he's made over the years.
"Every morning I'm up, he's up in the weight room and he's working and working and working," Tulane coach Curtis Johnson said. "I would like to play him as much as I can because that's what you do, you reward kids who work. I don't care what they are or how they look. This kid works and he's just like everybody else. I'm going to play him as much as I can."
The win moves Tulane to 2-2 on the season and sends UCF (0-5) into an even bigger spiral. Tulane quarterback Tanner Lee threw four touchdowns vs. the Knights.
According to NOLA.com, Johnson also said that this won't be the only time Golub sees time in a game.
Golub isn't the only legally blind snapper in college football, either. Jake Olson, who lost both of his eyes to a rare type of cancer as a child, has joined the USC football team. He was granted a waiver by the NCAA to join the team as a walk-on and started practicing in September.
