WVU Commit Jason Cross Makes Highlight Worthy Pick in Big 33 Win
A big play by a West Virginia commit helped secure a win for Pennsylvania in the Big 33 game over the weekend. Team PA beat Maryland 31-7 thanks in part to future Mountaineer Jason Cross.
Just when it looked like Maryland was putting together a drive, Cross jumped up and flipped the field all on his own. Cross got in front of the intended receiver and used both hands to make the highlight reel worthy pick.
