See the 5-foot-4 senior make an insane TD catch.

Jaylen James of Acadiana (Lafayette, La.) is only a 5-foot-4 senior, but he made his presence known to the high school football world on Friday night.

The 145-pound senior reeled in a ridiculous one-handed catch and simultaneously knocked over two defenders to free himself for the 75-yard pitch-and-catch touchdown.

The electrifying touchdown propelled the Rams to a 28-14 victory over Barbe (Lake Charles, La.). You can expect to see this gem on our Top 10 Plays of the Week.
