Mega-star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson gave a shout-out to Syracuse football player Joshua Black on social media.

Joshua Black, a 6-foot-3, 277-pound defensive lineman for Syracuse football, is exceptionally athletic, particularly for someone of his size.

The other night, he posted one of his ridiculous wall flips on Twitter, with a fun caption that read, “Not perfect yet but still practicing to become @TheRock’s stunt double eventually.”

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who suited up for Miami in 1991 when the Hurricanes captured the national championship, noticed Black’s achievement and fired back with some high praise.
