One-Handed Basketball Player Scores First Collegiate Points

By Josh Helmuth

Sophomore Zach Hodskins made the crowd explode against Jacksonville Tuesday night, putting on moves slicker than snot on a doorknob. But why does a kid go viral after only scoring two points? Hodskins did it with one hand. 

See it for yourself below.

Hodskins is a walk-on 6-foot-4 guard from Alpharetta, Georgia who went 0-2 shooting last season, appearing in four games as a Freshman. He was 0-3 in six games this season until this layup.

I wrote about him while he was in high school, posting his prep highlight reel. It's impressive.
