While it is not uncommon for college athletes to play multiple sports, most start their collegiate careers already established with their respective teams. However, this is not the case for Georgia baseball outfielder Randon Jernigan.
Jernigan, who has started almost 50 games for the Dawgs, has begun taking reps at wide receiver with the Georgia football team, per Anthony Dasher of UGA Sports.
Currently in the 2022 season, Jernigan is batting .500 with limited playing time, and he has recorded six runs scored and two RBIs.
Scott Stricklin, the head baseball coach, told Dasher:
“He’s a great athlete who can hopefully transition into football as he enters graduate school after this fall. He is still a part of our baseball team and will continue to be for the rest of the reason.”
In high school, Jernigan played both wide receiver and quarterback at Glenn Academy, and in 2017 he lead his team to the state semifinals. Check out one of his highlights playing quarterback in the video below.
