However, almost all of the great receptions from the past pale in comparison to the one-handed backflip snag that high school cornerback Marco Wilson was somehow able to execute with apparent ease in a video [posted](https://vine.co/v/eqOtVZjlUti/embed) online this week. Unsurprisingly, the 16-year-old from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., already has 11 collegiate offers on the table, [according](http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2474124-4-star-cb-marco-wilson-makes-unreal-jogging-one-handed-backflip-catch) to Bleacher Report. After this video goes viral, expect that number to keep rising. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3895861/backflip-catch-football-high-school-marco-wilson/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3895861/backflip-catch-football-high-school-marco-wilson/"},"headline":"Watch This High School Football Player Execute a Mad One-Handed Backflip Catch","datePublished":"2015-05-26T07:09:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:20:17.470Z","description":"Top that, Odell Beckham","url":"https://time.com/3895861/backflip-catch-football-high-school-marco-wilson/","keywords":["Newsfeed","High School","viral","Football"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"David Stout","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/david-stout/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3895861/backflip-catch-football-high-school-marco-wilson/","name":"Watch This High School Football Player Execute a Mad One-Handed Backflip Catch"}}]}] ```
