The No. 7 Florida Gators opened the season with a comfortable 68-45 win over William and Mary Friday night, which featured the debut of walk-on Zach Hodskins. Hodskins was born without the lower part of his left arm, but that didn’t stop him from becoming a sharpshooter from behind the arc in high school.

Hodskins played two minutes and attempted one shot, but is still looking for his first career points.

Hodskins said after the game that he was nervous, but that he “fulfilled a dream” Friday.

Via The Alligator:

“It’s kinda like the first time I did public speaking. I was really nervous, then after I did it once I was fine. I think that I’m gonna be fine if I get in again.”
