Georgia teenager Zach Hodskins was told he'd never play college basketball, but now he's earned a spot on one of the nation's top teams, the University of Florida. The 17-year-old was born without the lower half of his left arm.

"I just see myself as another player that's worked hard to reach his goals," said Hodskins.
