ATHENS —The last time Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint scored a touchdown prior to Saturday, he broke his ankle as he scored. That came back in 2020 against the Florida Gators.

This time around against the Tennessee Volunteers, Rosemy-Jacksaint found himself in the back of the end zone as he waited for Stetson Bennett to find him. The Georgia quarterback did, rifling in a pass above several Tennessee defenders.

“It was a hell of a throw,” Rosemy-Jacksaint said.

Rosemy-Jacksaint hung in the air as the ball found his hands. Then he got not one but both of his feet down before tumbling out of bounds. The junior immediately popped up and unleashed a fist-pump that would make prime Tiger Woods proud.

No one needed to wonder if Rosemy-Jacksaint was going to be okay this time. The touchdown put Georgia up 21-3 but for the junior wide receiver, it capped a moment that was a long-time coming.
