WATCH: High school player produces Catch of the Year candidate with OBJ-esque snag

The Catch of the Year may have already been produced by a high school player in Mississippi.
Over the weekend, a Hazlehurst High School receiver turned in what has to be the best catch so far this season with an insane Odell Beckham Jr. style grab. Seemingly out of nowhere, he snagged a ball over his head and brought it down with just one hand.

There’s no denying this catch was incredible, and you’ll want to watch it more than once to fully appreciate it:
This one-handed catch is next level 📈

It looks like the player is Class of 2020 WR Phameko James. The highlight of the catch was recently added to his Hudl page.
Needless to say, it looks like he’ll remember this play for quite some time!
