Pearsall reached over his body to snare a 27-yard reception last week for the Florida Gators against Charlotte, an Odell Beckham-like grab that to this point is the catch of the year in college football. Pearsall credited his wide receivers coach, Billy Gonzales, following the game for preparing him for the opportunity.

"We practice a bunch of scenarios of catches, and we actually ended up practicing that one," Pearsall said. "I wanted to shout him out and also shout the equipment staff out for the gloves.

For the season, Pearsall has a team-high 26 catches for 362 yards and 1 TD. No. 23 Florida next plays Saturday at Kentucky (noon, ESPN).
