The only switcheroo here is that Mack made it as a defensive back.
The interception by the 6-foot-2, 210-pound senior looked destined to be a touchdown pass for Bishop Dwenger. Mack is rated the 17th-best receiver in the country according to 247Sports.
Last season Mack had 69 catches for 1,062 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also carried the ball 28 times for 241 yards and four touchdowns.
Mack showed off his versatility on Friday. Not only did he make the remarkable interception, but he returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown and he added a running score.
"I was extremely, extremely excited about that interception,” Mack told the
Journal Gazette. “I was just making a play, you know?”
Mack didn't have any interceptions heading into 2015, but he had six pass deflections. He figures to stick to the offensive side of the ball at Ohio State, though if Urban Meyer gets a gander at this interception, he and his staff may reconsider.
