The fullback position in today's game of football is basically nonexistent. So when Alabama decides they want to use a fullback at the goalline what do they do? They turn to their 5-star linebacker Mack Wilson.

Wilson made an appearance at the fullback position earlier in the season delivering this punishing block, but now Lane Kiffin is even designing play specifically for the linebacker turned fullback.

And he makes a ridiculous touchdown catch. Dude's a linebacker.

Alabama has too much talent. Wilson also had several tackles on the day, it's just not fair.
UPDATE:
Apparently Wilson wasn't even the intended target, he just made the play.
O.J. Howard said Mack Wilson's TD catch was actually intended for him.

Saban on Mack Wilson's TD: "That's his position, that's what he plays ... Also happy he played a significant amount on defense."
