Georgia receiver Kearis Jackson breaks out for huge game vs Auburn

Georgia sophomore receiver Kearis Jackson had a huge game in Georgia’s 27-6 win over No. 7 Auburn. Details here

Ever since sophomore receiver Domonick Blaylock went down with another ACL injury this offseason, Georgia has been looking to fill the spot behind phenom George Pickens. 

It looks like that will be sophomore receiver Kearis Jackson, who has formed a connection with junior quarterback Stetson Bennett in just their second game together.

Jackson caught nine passes for 147 yards versus No. 4 Auburn, just a week after leading the team in receptions and receiving yards versus Arkansas.

Jackson was a 4-star recruit from Fort Valley, Georgia in the Bulldogs No. 1 ranked recruiting class of 2018.

He was named a starter in the offseason of 2019, but a hand injury kept him out for some time, allowing Blaylock to settle into the No. 2 spot behind Pickens.

Jackson looks exsplosive, whether on punt returns or as a route-runner, which is huge for a Georgia offense that has been looking for playmakers.

Here are a few highlights of Jackson’s big night versus the Tigers:
