Brian Rowe Jr. hasn't even played a down yet for the South Carolina Gamecocks, and he is already giving fans something to cheer about. During an offseason game of ultimate frisbee with his teammates. The true freshman wide receiver absolutely levitated, defying gravity, for a highlight-reel worthy grab that had social media buzzing.

The crazy thing is, Rowe is only 5-foot-10 but soared above his teammates like he had rocket boosters in his cleats! His acrobatic snag, over multiple defenders, was part of a team bonding session that unexpectantly turned into is unofficial Gamecock showcase.

Rowe is a former multi-sport standout from M. Robinson High School in Concord, NC. He wasn't just a football star, he was also averaging 13.2 points per game on the hardwood, making dunks that made defenders question their own skills in the paint. He was also a track star, quite literally jumping his own height with a 5-foot-10 leap as a sophomore. The kid is built like a human highlight reel.

Rowe chose South Carolina over other schools like Pitt, Miami, Maryland, and West Viginia. And with LaNorris Sellers leading the offense, don't be surprised if Rowe turns heads with his freakish vertical in the red zone this fall.

For now, Rowe is putting the "air" in air raid. Get ready, Gamecock Nation, the Rowe Show is just getting started.
