Auburn's Kyle Davis, a freshman wide receiver, channeled his inner Odell Beckham, Jr. a few moments ago. With Auburn and Arkansas State tied at 7 in the first quarter during Saturday's game, Davis hauled in a 42-yard bomb while diving backward and striking an Air Jordan-esque pose.
With one defender shadowing Davis in tight coverage and another sizing him up for a monster hit, the four-star recruit from Georgia just threw his right hand in the air and the ball stuck to it.

The Tigers dropped their first game of the season 19-13 to No. 2 Clemson, a great showing for Auburn. Up 38-7 at halftime against Arkansas State, it seems they'll roll to 1-1. And with a young core of Davis and sophomore running back Kerryon Johnson, this program might compete with the top of the college football landscape in the coming years.
War Eagle.
