One hand catches have become all the craze since Odell Beckham’s famous Sunday night mid-air snatch during the 2014 season. \u00a0Across America, \u00a0pros and amateurs alike have attempted to put their own spin on Beckham’s amazing feat, many to no avail.<\/p>\n

Enter Marco Wilson. \u00a0The sophomore defensive back at American Heritage High School in Plantation, Florida pulled of a one hand catch that has caught on both nationally and internationally. \u00a0Friday afternoon, \u00a0Wilson was out with a couple of his teammates on the field and launched into a backflip while simultaneously snatching a football thrown by\u00a0a classmate out of midair. \u00a0His video was placed on GridironStuds.com<\/a> and seen by the site’s visitors.<\/p>\n

By the time Wilson woke up on Friday morning, \u00a0his video had gone viral and was plastered across the front pages of ESPN.com, World Star Hip Hop and Bleacher Report. \u00a0Since it hit the air waves, \u00a0Wilson’s feat has been featured on CBS Evening News and KTLA out in Los Angeles with contact being made by NFL Network, CNN and a host of other media outlets. \u00a0Several international Twitter accounts have also posted the video to be seen by their audiences.<\/p>\n

The high schooler is no stranger to acrobatics. \u00a0He has been performing a number of front flips, back flips and other athletic stunts since his early elementary years. \u00a0A fan of parkour, \u00a0Wilson even has a video on YouTube displaying an array of parkour moves throughout his local town Miramar, Florida. \u00a0You can see that video by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wilson is also a standout defensive back for the defending 5A state champs at American Heritage School in Plantation, Florida. \u00a0He is rated 4 stars by recruiting outlets like Rivals.com, 247sports, Scout and ESPN. \u00a0He already\u00a0holds offers from 12 division I schools. \u00a0His brother, Quincy Wilson, is a sophomore cornerback for the Florida Gators.<\/p>\n
