CHICAGO, Ill. - Bluffton receiver Lorenzo McLaurin's hauling in of a 10-yard TD reception by trapping the ball on a defender's back is nominated for the GEICO Play of the Year, Intersport announced today. Each week, fans vote for the GEICO Play of the Year and the winner will be announced during GEICO's Best of College Football 2015 on CBS Nov. 27 at 1:30 p.m. ET.

In addition to recognizing the season's top plays, the one-hour CBS special relives the football season's greatest moments, players and traditions. The show also marks the culmination of the GEICO "Best of 2015" Football Tour, an interactive fan experience that visits 30 marquee games throughout the season.

Each week for five weeks, four incredible college football plays will be nominated as the Play of the Year on the GEICO Best of College Football Facebook page (facebook.com/bestofcollegefootball). The five weekly winners will then faceoff in a week of finals voting from November 9 through 16 to determine the 2015 GEICO Play of the Year.

In the game against RHIT, Bluffton receiver Lorenzo McLaurin hauled in a 10-yard TD reception by trapping the ball on a defender from RHIT's back.  Watch the play and vote here at: bit.ly/1uwQjKr 

Lorenzo McLaurin's TD reception, trapping it off a defender's back, is up against three other plays from week three including, Centre's Heath Haden's lateral to a teammate that he then received on the sideline for a 63-yard TD catch, a one-handed interception and 31-yard TD return for a touchdown by Muhlenberg's Kyle Wilczynski and a blocked field goal that was then returned 76 yards for a touchdown by North Park's Robbie Hillier II.
