Tulane’s Aaron Golub became the first legally blind person to play DI football

Tulane long snapper Aaron Golub became the first legally blind person to play in a Division I football game on Saturday, according to the school.

Golub, a sophomore, snapped on an extra point after the Green Wave’s final touchdown in a 45-31 victory over Central Florida in New Orleans.

Golub has no vision in his right eye and limited vision in his left.

“I’m happy that they gave me a shot, and it just felt great,” said Golub, whose snap was perfect. “Mentally, I was ready. I’ve prepared for it.”

Golub has been playing football since middle school and concentrated on long snapping to reach his goal of playing collegiately.
