Anouncement:Georgia Bulldog player Marcus Rosemy is leaving…

Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, a wide receiver for Georgia, muses on his time as a Bulldog.
Despite some ups and downs, the senior wide receiver has emerged as a genuine playmaker and a leader for the Bulldogs.

A horrific ankle injury sustained by Georgia wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint during his first-ever touchdown reception back in 2020 momentarily ended his career. Rosemy-Jacksaint battled back to contribute to the Bulldogs, and he has been able to enjoy the results of his efforts this season.

This season, Rosemy-Jacksaint has been a very useful player for the Bulldogs in the passing game. The senior has 21 receptions for 359 yards and two touchdowns through nine games. Rosemy-Jacksaint has caught a pass in every game this season, including a 40-yard touchdown pass in Week 6 that set up Georgia’s decisive victory over Kentucky.

Rosemy-Jacksaint took a moment to consider his time at Georgia before Saturday’s Senior Night festivities.

Rosemy-Jacksaint observed, “It’s kind of breathtaking to see how fast time flies.” Basically, everything has been a journey, especially from my freshman year onward. I’m just grateful for the chance and thrilled about the present. The feelings are moving.

Despite some setbacks during her time at Georgia, Rosemy-Jacksaint, a former standout at St. Thomas Aquinas, made sure they didn’t stop him for very long.

In 2020, the once-four-star prospect made his debut on the field early in his freshman year, and it turned out to be his final game. During Georgia’s game against Florida, Rosemy-Jacksaint received a pass from Stetson Bennett and ran toward the goal line, where two Gators pursued him. Rosemy-Jacksaint broke his ankle after a Florida player dove toward him just outside the goal line, and he fell into the end zone for six points.

Rosemy-Jacksaint says that play is his favorite Bulldog memory even though it ended his freshman season. He clarified that the reason it is still memorable is not just that it was his first touchdown, but also the lessons it taught him in the days, weeks, and months that followed.

“I discovered that getting up is not difficult. You have to get back up after being knocked down by life, according to Rosemy-Jacksaint. “I was depressed. I felt sorry for myself. I was filled with doubts. It seemed like I had to overcome a great deal of adversity at the time. I simply remained steadfast in my devotion to God. I made it through, I won. I give God the glory for it.

For the whole 2021 season, Rosemy-Jacksaint was back in action. Even though he didn’t contribute much on the receiving end, he was a fierce blocker that gained playing time. In the national championship game, he demonstrated this ability by blocking Brock Bowers’ touchdown catch in the fourth quarter.

In 2022, Rosemy-Jacksaint’s performance as a receiver truly improved. As AD Mitchell battled injury, he filled in at the X position and was very effective there, finishing the season with 29 receptions for 337 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Rosemy-Jacksaint has had the opportunity to contribute significantly once more since Mitchell left for Texas, and he hasn’t let us down. He was outstanding in Georgia’s Week 3 comeback victory over South Carolina, hauling in six receptions for 71 yards. Going into the Ole Miss game, he is tied for third on the team in receiving touchdowns (2), third in receiving yards (359), and fourth in receptions (21).

Rosemy-Jacksaint is just as significant in the huddle for Georgia as he is on the field. Rosemy-Jacksaint is regarded by his teammates as one of the real leaders on the team, and his contributions in this regard have not gone unappreciated.

Right guard Tate Ratledge of Georgia said, “He’s really stepped into a leadership role, and I think he did a really good job during that time [he was hurt] of staying in during rehab and improving himself.” “He has patiently awaited his moment, and now that it has arrived, he has assumed the role of leader and grown into one of our offense’s most prominent and vocal voices. He’s performing incredibly well.

Kirby Smart’s memory suggests that Georgia was aware of Rosemy-Jacksaint’s ability for this kind of work since their high school years.

“He comes from an amazing family and is a great kid.” He loves football with all of his heart,” Smart remarked. “I’m not sure how to rank the leaders at Georgia; there have been some really outstanding ones since we’ve been here in terms of the authority and respect they’ve gained via their experiences and accomplishments. When he talks, people listen to him, so he would rank right up there with those guys.

“His competitive style, toughness, and effort.” He requests to be on special teams and upholds our culture. All you could ask for in a Georgia football player is what he is. He is a competitor that I greatly respect.

In light of his performance this season, Rosemy-Jacksaint gave his teammates and coaches credit, stating that they put in the hard work while he does the easy part. Rosemy-Jacksaint clarified he hasn’t given it much thought and has been more focused on performing when he’s on the field than on being a part of a historic run in Athens.

Even though Rosemy-Jacksaint’s first touchdown as a Bulldog took a terrible turn, he turned that experience into what he is today. Since then, Rosemy-Jacksaint’s journey has taken him through some of the most significant events in Georgia program history, and he is sincerely appreciative of that.

“It may seem absurd to consider it that way, but I’m grateful and happy to have contributed to the work that has been done over the past three or four years here,” Rosemy-Jacksaint remarked. It is truly a blessing, no matter what. Who would have guessed? It’s absurd.
