O'Connell's 100-yd Pick Sets School Record
Midway through the fourth quarter, The College at Brockport football team was holding onto a seven point lead over Utica. The Pioneers were facing first and goal from their own six-yard line, when sophomore Jake O'Connell intercepted a pass in the end zone and returned it 100-yards for his first career pick-six. The play set a Brockport football record for longest interception returned for a touchdown, and tied the NCAA record. O'Connell also tabbed three tackles, including one for loss, in Brockport's 35-28 win at Utica.
The play has received national recognition from HeroSports as a Play of the Week nominee. You can vote for it
