Miami's CJ Daniels Makes Spectacular One-Handed Touchdown Grab
CJ Daniels provides a highlight-reel moment with an extraordinary one-handed touchdown catch against Notre Dame, changing the game's momentum.
We may have just witnessed an early candidate for the best catch of the 2025 college football season. The remarkable grab was made by CJ Daniels, a wide receiver for the Miami Hurricanes, who executed a one-handed, 20-yard touchdown reception that put the Hurricanes ahead 14-7 against Notre Dame just before halftime.
The touchdown came after a tight contest that was tied before Daniels’ stunning feat, which could have easily been intercepted by Notre Dame safety Adon Shuler. Instead, it became a game-changing play in favor of Miami. Daniels, a senior who previously played at Liberty and LSU, showcased his skills brilliantly.
Miami’s quarterback Carson Beck made a daring throw under heavy pressure, marking a successful start to his Miami career with two first-half touchdown passes.

Daniels’ impressive catch comes just a day after Florida receiver Vernell Brown II and Pitt wideout Cataurus “Blue” Hicks made their own spectacular one-handed grabs, helping their teams achieve significant victories. Daniels is hopeful his accomplishment will secure another win over Notre Dame for the Hurricanes.
