Ryan Watercutter really knows how to use his head. And it resulted in one of the most ridiculous catches you’ll ever see.

In the first quarter of Indiana’s game against Rutgers, Watercutter was the target of a Richard Lagow pass. The receiver initially made the catch but the ball bobbled free when he was hit by Scarlet Knights defender.

That’s when Watercutter pulled out his inner David Tyree, pinned the ball against his helmet and completed the catch.

It might be the best seven yard reception you’ll ever see.

Watercutter had 10 receptions coming into the game for just 59 yards. That catch probably jumped to the top of the list of the most impressive.
