College football got an early candidate for catch of the year Saturday night, and most fans likely missed it.
That’s because the catch occurred in a game between Utah State and Robert Morris… not exactly a marquee event. Especially not with the top-25 matchup between Notre Dame and Texas A&M happening at the same time.
But this catch by Robert Morris DB Rob Carter Jr. was special. He snagged the ball over his head with one hand while doing a 360 spin vertical to the ground.

If that doesn’t stand as the catch of the year, it’ll at least hold the title for best catch of Week 1.
