Kearis Jackson Underwent Offseason Surgery
Georgia's leading receiver from a season ago, Kearis Jackson, underwent offseason surgery to repair his knee. In an interview Tuesday at SEC Media Days, head coach Kirby Smart called it a "knee cleanup."
The junior from Fort Valley, Ga., is coming off a 2020 season where he racked up 36 receptions, which tied him with George Pickens for most on the team, and 514 yards and three touchdowns. The 2020 season was Jackson's most productive year as a Bulldog, and he will look to build on it in 2021.
The majority of Jackson's production came in the first half of the season with Stetson Bennett at quarterback. After JT Daniels won the starting job, Georgia opted to air the ball out more with shots downfield, trying to take the top off defenses.
The surgery is nothing major for Jackson and should not keep him out of any portion of fall camp. In fact, it is a routine surgery that many players have throughout their football career.
