Former Trojan Joseph Manjack made one of the catches of the week in college football

Joseph Manjack made a man’s catch for Houston. His spectacular TD helped the Cougars fend off UTSA, 37-35, in one of the best games from Week 1.

A great catch is impressive on its own terms, regardless of outside context. However, we remember great catches when they also happen to come at an important moment in a game and help a team win.

Former USC Trojan Joseph Manjack made a catch over the weekend which was visually spectacular and also hugely important to his new team, the Houston Cougars.

Houston trailed UTSA by 14 at halftime. The Cougars needed a 17-point third quarter to get back into the game. Manjack was able to step up and deliver a sensational one-handed catch, sliding in the back of the end zone and getting his feet in bounds for a massive score. Houston was able to get UTSA into overtime. The Cougars eventually won in triple overtime, 37-35, in one of the best and most thrilling games of the young season.

Manjack wanted more playing time and a bigger role, given that USC’s wide receiver room is stacked. He clearly seems to have made a good choice by finding a home in Houston and contributing significantly to a big Week 1 win.

Wisconsin 2021 WR target commits to a Pac-12 opponent

The Badgers lose out on a top WR target

The Badgers are looking to solidify their 2021 class at WR after their first  commitment came at the position when Wisconsin landed a top WR target a few weeks back. 

Near the top of the Wisconsin WR big board was Joseph Manjack, a 6-foot-3 prospect out of Tomball, Texas who initially was committed to SMU when the Badgers extended an offer. After his decision to decommit from SMU came a few weeks ago, Manjack chose Washington State as his collegiate destination this afternoon.

Wisconsin had certainly made Manjack one of their priorities at the position over the past couple of months, although the Memorial High School native is headed to the Pac-12.

The Badgers still have only one WR commit in the class of 2021 as Skyler Bell, a Connecticut native, chose Wisconsin on August 16.
