Some of you may recall Pete mentioning Jake over the years. He befriended the young man in 2009 when Jake watched USC practice the day before surgery to remove his remaining eye (he was born with a form of eye cancer and lost the first eye as a baby).
Jake later played long snapper on the Orange Lutheran HS football team and ended up being invited to join the Trojans football team after being accepted into USC.
Today he actually got into a game for the first time.

Kudos to both USC and Western Michigan for this making this moment happen. It was really special.
