At age 89, World War II veteran and former Kansas Jayhawks football player Bryan Sperry stole the show at a recent alumni flag football game.

Sperry got his hands on the football around the 37-yard line and started to make his way down the field. Thanks to some blocking by his teammates, he was able to make it all the way to the end zone.

This latest feat is just another chapter in Sperry's incredible story, which The Kansas City Star's Rustin Dodd detailed. Sperry played football at Kansas State when he was 17 years old. However, by the time he was 19, he was serving his country in World War II. After he returned from duty, he earned a spot on the Jayhawks football team and wound up playing in the 1948 Orange Bowl.

Now, nearly 70 years later, Sperry is still playing the game he loves.
