Pierce Clarkson is one of the best quarterbacks in the country playing for arguably the best team in the country.

Highlights are the norm for the Louisville-bound senior St. John Bosco QB.

But he pulled out a play Friday night against Servite that you don't see every day.

The four-star quarterback threw backward to Eric Denham, who threw backward to Clarkson, who took off for the end zone, breaking some ankles along the way.

St. John Bosco, the No. 1 team in the SBLive/Sports Illustrated Power 25, went on the beat Servite 49-3.

Clarkson finished the game completing 6 of 12 passes for 185 yards and three touchdowns, plus the 22-yard receiving TD.
