What did he do that for?
Gotdsmn smh
Nah breh. There was nobody within 20 yards of dude...and don't you think tackling your teammate would cause a greater chance of a fumble
Also most likely ruined dude's best chance of getting a defensive TD in his career

Just keep my rep red
Wearing an uniform that matches prision jumpsuits.
Shanking the QB hand.
Gay like Takedowns
Seems like a normal night at Gainesville Correctional Football School.

I really need an explanation for this shyt 
It's the same thing as taking a knee after a turnover to preserve the win. Don't give the ball back to the other team, victory formation, Ball Game!
But here's the explanation
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida won its game Saturday night against East Carolina under the most bizarre of circumstances.
And East Carolina quarterback Blake Kemp letting the football slip out of his grasp as he tried to throw a pass down 31-24 on the Florida 13-yard line was far from the weirdest part.
After Kemp fumbled, Florida defensive lineman Alex McCalister scooped up the ball and took off toward the end zone, with about 20 yards of open space between him and the closest East Carolina offensive player. It seemed like a sure touchdown.
That is, until linebacker Jarrad Davis chased him down and tackled him at the 41-yard line. Florida linebacker Jarrad Davis.
"It’s a situation we’ve been practicing ever since camp," Davis explained after the game. "It’s something that you just never know what can happen. You guys didn’t think I could make the tackle. That’s what I did."
Davis' thinking was to simply hand the ball back to the Florida offense with 12 seconds left on the clock and East Carolina having only one timeout. Game over.
"It’s situational. We got the lead and the game is over," Davis said. "He can score easily, but we’ve just been harping on going down in those situations. Just seal the game and let the offense come out do the victory formation and we can go strike the band up and everybody can go home with the ‘W.’"
But what if the junior linebacker had caused a fumble? Not to worry, Davis anticipated that possiblity too.
"That was scary. I tried to bear-hug him," he said. "It’s been going around for a long time. He said if he gets the ball, nobody is going to ever tackle him. He didn’t expect be coming to get him."

Florida escaped a near-disaster against East Carolina in The Swamp on Saturday night thanks to a big defensive play at the very end to force a fumble as the Pirates were driving for a possible game-tying score.
The Gators were able to force a sack fumble on an all-out blitz. When linebacker Alex McCalister picked up the loose ball and started running to the end zone, teammate Jarrad Davis grabbed him and took him to the ground, so Florida could run out the clock.

The tackle is pretty hilarious, but also the smart play and how coaches teach these situations. Get down.
Letting the clock run out is the right way to go with just 16 seconds to play, but having to physically tackle a teammate to get that point across is really funny. It wasn't even a gentle tackle as he spun him around and threw him down.
