Former Northwestern wide receiver Flynn Nagel is showing off his hands in the XFL.

Saturday, the Dallas Renegades were taking on the Seattle Dragons in Week 3 action of the XFL. With Dallas trailing 6-0 late in the first quarter, Renegades quarterback Landry Jones hit Nagel for a 12-yard touchdown strike to even the score.

Here’s the video of Nagel hauling in the tying touchdown early for Dallas:

Nagel was a star receiver at Northwestern from 2015-18, playing in 40 career games for the Wildcats. He hauled in 160 receptions for 1,763 yards and six touchdowns during his career. Nagel’s best season in Evanston came in 2018, totaling 780 yards and two touchdowns on 68 catches.

He seems to be making a big impact in the XFL, as well.
