Kearis Jackson, Wide Receiver (#10):

Height: 6-0
Weight: 200 pounds
Hometown: Fort Valley, Georgia
High School: Peach County High School
Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Kearis Jackson redshirted as a freshman in 2018. He was able to play in four games after enrolling early at UGA. Jackson came to Georgia as a touted four-star recruit from Peach County High School. In high school, Jackson played football and ran track.
Jackson started the first game of 2019 against Vanderbilt, but broke his hand. Jackson’s injury set him back after a career best game against Vanderbilt (2 catches for 31 yards).
Jackson started seven games, but didn’t have a large impact on offense. He ended the season with five catches for 79 yards. He and quarterback Jake Fromm never quite found a grove, which can be partially attributed to his broken hand.
In 2020, Jackson will compete for the starting wide receiver position opposite George Pickens. Dominick Blaylock is recovering from a torn ACL. Georgia secured an elite recruiting class in 2020 and has plenty of talent at the wide receiver position.
