Layton Gallagher has averaged 9.6 yards per carry and boasts six touchdowns this season. Those numbers are impressive for any running back, except he has done it all with only one hand.

Gallagher, a senior at Wallace High School (Idaho), was born that way.

He hasn’t let this affect him. Friday, he totaled 140 yards and four touchdowns to lead his eight-man football team to a 50-30 win.

Last season, he ran for over 500 yards and had 14 touchdowns.

In addition to football, Gallagher also plays basketball.
