WATCH: Keller Central 4-star prospect dazzles on this long touchdown

D.J. Graham is one of the top prospects in the nation and if you weren’t sure about it before, wait until you watch his latest touchdown.

Against Little Elm on Friday, Graham and the Chargers began the scoring with a 71-yard TD midway through the first quarter.

Graham caught a quick pass from QB Gavyn White and raced down the sideline for the 7-0 lead.

“When I caught the ball, I was looking to get into the end zone and nothing less,” Graham said.

Graham made one defender miss before jumping over another while continuing his stride toward the end zone.

“The jump just happened and I wasn’t really planning or thinking about it at all. When I was in the air, everything felt like it was going in slow motion,” Graham said. “Watching the video over again, it’s pretty crazy honestly, it’s definitely one of my best plays of my career. It also motivates me, and hopefully motivates my teammates.”

Graham, who’s a 4-star recruit, holds 16 offers with 12 from Power Five schools. He’s ranked as the No. 16 athlete in the nation for the 2020 class and No. 24 overall player in the state, per 247Sports.

Among those that have offered are LSU, Notre Dame, Georgia, Miami, Texas Tech and Missouri.

Graham played in 22 games during his career prior this season while recording 65 catches, 1,065 yards and nine touchdowns. He’s added 33 tackles, three interceptions and nine deflections last season.

He was named honorable mention all-state in 2017 and voted district offensive newcomer as a freshman.

So far this season, Graham has scored twice and picked off one pass. The Chargers start district vs. Denton Guyer in two weeks.
