Yorkville High Product Makes Amazing Catch in College Football Game
The Division III wide receiver made the "catch of his life," in Deadspin's estimation.
A Yorkville High graduate playing football for Knox College in Galesburg made an amazing catch in a Division III matchup with Lawrence Saturday.
“Junior wide receiver Ilir Emini from D-III Knox College in Illinois made the catch of his life in Saturday’s game against Lawrence University, and it’s totally okay that you don’t recognize any of those proper nouns (besides Illinois),” was the way Deadspin described the play.
Knox went on the win the game 20-6, according to an account in the Appleton Post Crescent, which made no mention of Emini’s stunning grab.
Emini was named a Patch Whiz Kid in November 2011.
