C.J. Fiedorowicz hasn’t even arrived at the University of Iowa yet, but his legend already is growing. Fiedorowicz, one of the top high school tight ends in the country, is expected to contend for a starting job with the Hawkeyes right away next fall but for now he is doing amazing things on the basketball court at Johnsburg, Ill., High School.

With time running out in the third quarter Friday night against Grayslake Central, the 6-foot-7, 250-pound Fiedorowicz picked up a loose ball in the lane and simply flipped it at the opposing basket 75 feet away. He didn’t even step into the throw. It was just a flat-footed flick of his wrist.

The ball swished through the net at the opposite end.

To see the shot, check out this video from our friends at the Northwest Herald:

In addition to being a four-year varsity letterman in football at Johnsburg, about 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Fiedorowicz also is the school’s career scoring leader in basketball and a four-year letterman in that sport as well.
