Florida sophomore turns in play of the weekend candidate.

We've seen plenty of ball carriers flip over opponents in high school football games.

But rarely have we seen a player stick the landing with as much precision and grace as Malik Johnson of Alonso (Tampa, Fla.).

Against Sickles on Friday night, the 5-foot-5 sophomore handled a deep snap, took off to the right, flipped over a defender coming in low and nailed the landing like he just got back from Rio.

He even scratched out a few extra yards following the acrobatic escape.

Take note, Simone Biles.
