Selected by the Washington Redskins in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, former Ohio State wide receiver Terry McLaurin made his presence felt in his NFL debut.

Able to stretch the field with his speed, McLaurin got behind the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense and took a Case Keenum pass 69-yards for a score in the second quarter of Sunday’s game at Lincoln Financial Field.

Eleven Warriors captured footage of the play:

An Indianapolis native, McLaurin was a four-star prospect in the 2014 class, per the 247Sports Composite. After redshirting in 2014, he played for Urban Meyer’s Buckeyes from 2015-18, recording 75 receptions for 1,251 yards and 19 touchdowns.

McLaurin’s former team is off to a 2-0 start after speeding past Cincinnati on Saturday, 42-0. Looking to improve to 3-0, the Buckeyes travel to Bloomington to face the Indiana Hoosiers (2-0) on Saturday, September 14.
