New Mexico State Aggies senior quarterback Brandon Nunez used a Fortnite dance to celebrate scoring a touchdown during Wednesday night's Conference USA college football game against Louisiana State.
It happened with 8:26 remaining in the third quarter. New Mexico State had 2nd and Goal on the Louisiana Tech 7-yard line. Nunez took the shotgun snap, faked the handoff, then ran straight ahead into the end zone without being touched. As he reached the back line of the end zone, he broke into the Fortnite default dance celebration as his teammates came up to congratulate him.

We have seen sports athletes break out the Fortnite dances in the past. The Fortnite video game is a bit past its prime, but the dances can still be fun.
Nunez did not start the game, but ran 6 times for 30 yards and scored two second half touchdowns as the Aggies beat the Bulldogs 33-30 in double overtime. It was New Mexico State's first conference win of the season.
