Video goes viral of Nigel Knott’s backflip catch off a wall

A video of USC recruit Nigel Knott has gone viral.

Knott, a cornerback at Germantown High in Madison, Miss., was filmed catching a pass as he flipped backward off a wall.

After the video passed a million loops on Vine, the 5-foot-11, 170-pound Knott wrote on Twitter that he was not injured in the process and that he was “done with acrobatic catches” to protect his career.

Knott will make an unofficial visit to USC this summer.
