Show Caption Hide Caption UWF football's Pete Shinnick In short time, Pete Shinnick has made UWF football a national success.

The University of West Florida has caught the attention of ESPN for a second time in five weeks.

Wide receiver Kevin Grant’s touchdown catch against the Indiana University of Pennsylvania in the NCAA Division II national semifinals was the No. 1 play on former NFL wide receiver Randy Moss’ weekly “You Got Mossed” segment, which runs ahead of Monday Night Football.

Grant rose up over multiple IUP defenders to make the grab and give UWF a 24-0 lead in the third quarter.

Moss said of the catch: “Man, there’s nothing you can do. He’s taller than you ... Hey Kevin Grant, that was a nice catch. Keep doing your thing.”
