WATCH: NC State player front-flips into the end zone to cap long TD vs. Florida State

Entering halftime of the NC State-Florida State game, the Wolfpack hold a 17-10 lead, thanks in large part to a huge play by WR Jakobi Meyers.
Meyers caught a pass from QB Ryan Finley and took it 71 yards for the touchdown, juking an FSU defender along the way.
As you can see in the video below, Meyers celebrated by doing a front-flip into the end zone (and landing it) while running at full speed:

Making the play even more impressive is that Meyers juked star Florida State S Derwin James in the process:

Naturally, Meyers was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for his celebration and earned a 15-yard penalty for his actions, but it’s hard to fault him for being excited about the big play.
If it helps the Wolfpack hang on for an upset victory, it’ll be even sweeter for the super-athletic redshirt sophomore.
