Florida sophomore Zach Hodskins, a walk-on who was born without the lower part of his left arm, scored his first collegiate points on Tuesday.

Late in the Gators’ 89–65 win over Jacksonville, Hodskins matched up against Dolphins forward Darius Dawkins, freed himself with a spin move, drew a foul, and hit a righthanded layup.

Here’s video of the sweet move and score:

And, here’s a look in slow-motion:

Hodskins, who has payed on the team since last year, has played a total of seven minutes this season. The basket was his first in four shot attempts.
