Mercer lineman scores touchdown and does a cartwheel (Video)




We don't blame Thomas Marchman for being really, really excited.


The Mercer lineman caught a touchdown pass on a designed play against Warner on Saturday and celebrated by bowling with his teammates and by doing a cartwheel.


Mercer, an FCS school (and the school that beat Duke in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament in March), routed NAIA Warner 56-0, so it was the perfect opportunity to get Marchman a chance at a touchdown.


However, you'll notice that the bowling celebration came at a cost. The Bears were flagged for a group celebration. If we're judging the cartwheel, we'll give him a solid 7.5 out of 10.


It's a play that also worked better for Mercer than it did for a prominent FBS team. While trailing by seven late in the game against Missouri, Texas A&M tried a throwback pass to tight end Cameron Clear on fourth down near the goal line. Missouri read the play and stopped A&M for a loss of one. The Tigers went on to win 34-27.
