Although they say that they are "a premier FBS Division I level College Football All Star Game", the roster contains several Div 2 players as well. It is an interesting mix.

Good for Brendan. Would love to see him get a shot. Definitely an odd assortment of players. The QB from UConn only threw 16 passes and 5 rushes this year.

Here's the video link to the game:
Very amateurish and looks like something that I would take from my seats in the stands.
However, Brendan's TD catch is at about 2:06:51. His team recovered a fumble on the opposing 16 yard line, lost 2 yards on their first play and then his TD.
Earlier, at about 2:00:00, Brendan goes out for a pass, play goes to the other side of the field, he blocks a defender and the two mix it up a little and ref breaks it up.

Brendan caught two passes later.
At roughly 2:42:15 as time runs down, catches a pass for a first down and QB spikes the ball.
With 3.3 secs left, he catches the next pass for 6 yards and goes out of bounds.
Looks like he did well for himself.

His touchdown reception may have been the easiest of his career.

I met Brendan's sister (a real knockout) and her UNH classmates on the subway going to Yan... Stadium for our game vs Fordham. She wore Brendan's jersey. She said that Brendan intends to give the NFL a shot, inspired by Kalif, knowing that it is a real long shot.
