Ugandan footballer Bevis Mugabi plying his trade from Scotland in the Scottish Premiership from Motherwell FC has been ranked among one of the highest jumpers in history. Mugabi, 25, jumped an inch higher - at 8ft 6in off the ground - to score in the Scottish Premiership clash at Ross County in February, two years ago. With the game evenly poised at 1-1 and just 20 minutes to play, the Ugandan ace rose highest to power home a header. The sensational display of leaping ability snatched all three points for Motherwell. https://twitter.com/MotherwellFC/status/1355214133176594432 Mugabi is ranked 3rd after Youssef En-Nesyri's leap in their Portugal's encounter against Morocco in the Qatar World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo is listed first, an occasion that happened in the first leg of a round of 16 Champions League match between Real Madrid and Manchester United in 2013. Victor Osimhen, Fikayo Tomori, and Zlatan Ibrahimović are also given honourable mentions. Mugabi received his first call-up to the Uganda national team for their friendly against Kenya in August 2016.
