Birth mother.

Earth mother.

They are the reason for the hyphen in the name of Georgia wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint.

The right arm of Rosemy-Jacksaint has tattoos in honor of the women who have played such an important role in his life. Rosemy-Jacksaint lost his birth mother at an early age. He was taken in by the family of his earth mother. In this video, Rosemy-Jacksaint and his family speak exclusively with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Sarah K. Spencer to share the touching life story behind one of the Bulldogs star receivers.
