(WSVN) - Against all odds, a Texas teen has earned a scholarship to play college football.

Leslie Adindu is from Nigeria and only started playing football in 2019.

He has yet to play a varsity game.

Some unforeseen circumstances left Adindu homeless and out on the street so his coaches made him a highlight reel, sent it to universities and now one school is giving him the chance to play.

Soon Adindu will take the field at Southwest Baptist University in Missouri.
