Morgan State football player Edwin Baptiste has a catch that throws this HBCU into the national spotlight

You have to see it yourself to believe it.  It’s always nice to see my alma mater make the national spotlight.

As yahoo sports reports…

Unlike Sports Illustrated or Chris Mottram, I’m not willing to put Morgan State’s Edwin Baptiste alongside Tyrone Prothro or Chris Moore in the category of “greatest catch ever,” but Baptiste’s effort in the Bears’ win over Winston-Salem State Saturday isn’t too far down the list…

Whatever Baptiste was doing before he vaulted backward off an invisible trampoline at the 35-yard line was terrible form, since ideally you’d want your receiver running under the ball, towards the other team’s end zone, not facing your own. Maybe that’s why he’s not I-A. Baptise should still carve out a little window one day in the hopefully very distant future and embed this video on his tombstone.

Controversial in technique or not, I will soak in any noteriety the national press gives to my not often recognized HBCU.
