Former Oklahoma State Star catches Lamar Jackson’s longest career touchdown

Entering the Baltimore Ravens’ Week 10 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, former Oklahoma State star receiver Tylan Wallace had just nine total receptions in four years. He functioned primarily as a special teamer, but he wasn’t a primary part of the offense.

That all changed Thursday night against the Ravens’ division rivals.

After a single touchdown in the fourth quarter, Lamar Jackson hoped to lead his team on a quick score to tie things up. On third down, Jackson connected with Wallace on a short route to convert the first down, but the former Cowboy would then make a game-changing play. After breaking a tackle, Wallace took it to the house for a touchdown.

Interestingly, this was Jackson’s longest career touchdown pass. Even if it was for the most unlikely of receivers, Wallace made a name for himself Thursday night. On the very next drive, he had another big catch of 20-plus yards that ultimately set up a Mark Andrews touchdown later in the possession.

It’s uncertain whether Wallace can emerge as a consistent piece for the Ravens offense, but the former Oklahoma State star has made a case for more snaps on offense. While all eyes were on newly acquired Baltimore receiver Diontae Johnson, it was Tylan Wallace who stole the show on Thursday.
