Jim Barnett III, a Class of 2018 wide receiver from Habersham Central (Mount Airy, Ga.), was the talk of The Nike Opening Regional event in Atlanta on Sunday.
He was named the wide receiver MVP at the camp, but what attracted attention is the video sequence below from several outlets that has been shared extensively in the last 24 hours.
“I had already plan with my boys that to do a flip after an exclusive play so all I needed was a victim to get things started,” Barnett told USA TODAY High School Sports. “Plus, I just love to flip and a big play seems a lot bigger when you top it off with a flip.”
Barnett is listed at 6 foot and 165 pounds.
Here is another angle, complete with the post-move celebratory backflip.
