Bishop Gorman (Nevada) five-star wide receiver Derek Meadows stands 6-foot-6, but his speed stood out most on the Gaels' first touchdown Saturday against St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida).

Meadows, one of the top-ranked senior receivers in the nation in high school football and an LSU commit, sprinted through a double-team and made a smooth grab in the end zone.

Quarterback Melvin Spicer IV put the ball right where it needed to be, and Meadows bobbled the ball for a second and then reeled in the 41-yard touchdown catch for all on ESPN to see.
