Kentucky DL Cory Johnson hauls in awesome INT (GIF)
Kentucky defensive lineman Cory “Poop” Johnson is a human highlight reel!
The 6-foot-3, 300-pound Johnson returned a fumble 77 yards for a touchdown earlier in the season, and on Saturday night, he made another awesome play.
With the Wildcats already up big over Charlotte late in the third quarter, Johnson made a crazy interception as 49ers QB Brooks Barden was attempting to throw the ball away.
Watch this:
While absorbing a block from a Charlotte offensive lineman, Johnson located the ball and tipped it up in the air with one hand. He then did a 180-degree turn and completed the interception as he fell out of bounds.
What an athlete!
And if you’re wondering how he got his “Poop” nickname, just watch this video.
What a guy.
