In an absolute crime against the sport of football, this catch won’t show up in the Celebration Bowl’s box score. It will not count toward Grambling State wide receiver Verlan Hunter’s official stats thanks to a penalty flag, but you need to see it anyway, and you need to see it from more than one angle.
This Grambling State catch of the year candidate was negated by a flag, and we don’t care
It’s that good.


Grambling State’s Twitter account was pretty impressed, too, and it’s easy to see why.
SportsCenter’s top 10 doesn’t typically include plays that get negated, but I think it should make an exception here.
The best thing about it is that the Celebration Bowl between North Carolina Central and Grambling State has been so devoid of offense that this was an oasis of offensive excitement.
Thank you, Verlan. Thank you so much.
