WATCH: Indiana TE Peyton Hendershot secures wild behind-the-back catch
Published:
You want catch a football with your fingertips and relaxed, soft hands, keeping your arms extended and away from your body. That’s considered the ideal way to secure a pass.
But above all, the main priority is to just make sure you catch the damn thing. That’s what redshirt freshman tight end Peyton Hendershot was able to accomplish with this unorthodox 22-yard reception against Rutgers in the third quarter of today’s contest:

That’s a great way to save yourself from getting an earful on the sidelines. Great focus.
With the catch, Hendershot has hauled in seven receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown this season.
The Hoosiers (3-1, 0-1 Big Ten) hold a 24-14 lead over Rutgers (1-3, 0-1) with less than 10 minutes remaining in the game.
