Andre Baccellia made perhaps the offensive play of the spring on Monday.
Late in Washington’s 12th April practice, junior quarterback Jacob Eason took a snap, looked to his right and lofted a deep ball in Baccellia’s direction along the sideline. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound senior — who was running step-for-step with redshirt freshman cornerback Kyler Gordon — stuck his right hand out in front of his body.
Luckily, the football stuck.
The one-handed grab — and the perfect touch pass that made it possible — resulted in a roughly 40-yard gain for the offense. Baccellia pulled the ball into his body before his momentum carried the streaking senior out of bounds.
