The biggest headline? Texas QB Malachi Reynolds, a redshirt freshman, dropped jaws across the country with a 70-yard, cross-body touchdown pass that looked ripped straight from a Madden highlight reel. The ball flew through the air like a rocket, arcing perfectly over two defenders and landing right in his receiver’s hands.

Fans watching the Longhorns’ spring game erupted. A chant broke out instantly: “HEIS-MAN! HEIS-MAN!”

But it wasn’t just the throw. After the game, a behind-the-scenes video went viral showing Reynolds leading a team huddle with passion and swagger way beyond his years. “This is OUR year,” he said, “and I’m ready to lead.”

Elsewhere, Alabama’s new transfer QB Devin Harper also impressed, while USC’s offense showcased a trio of freshmen who look like future NFL talent.
