Oklahoma wide receiver Spencer Jones found a way to stay entertained during quarantine: winning a $1,000 bet against his father.
In a video the senior recently posted on social media, the senior is shown making the wager. His dad said he would pay out a $1,000 reward if his son could make the crazy shot in just three tries. The video got over 36,000 likes on Twitter after SportsCenter re-posted it.
The goal can barely be seen in the background of the video, and Jones was far enough from the goal that he needed to heave the ball with one arm.
The first try was wide left, and Jones’ dad then said he would pay out $250 if the ball even hit rim. Jones’ second attempt was high arcing, dropping straight through the hoop.
Jones, a 6-1 receiver out of Nashville, Tennessee, will be in his redshirt senior year at Oklahoma. He played in 14 games in the 2019 season.
