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.
