Bennett’s hook up to Gilbert in the back of the end zone for the touchdown is something fans have been waiting to see for a while now, as Gilbert hasn’t played a game with the Bulldogs since transferring into the program from LSU before the 2021-22 season, but didn’t play last year due to “personal reasons.”
Gilbert came into college football as the No. 6 overall ranked prospect in the 2020 On3 Consensus and ranked No. 1 at the tight end spot. The Georgia native was named to the Freshman All-SEC Team at LSU after posting 35 receptions for 368 yards and two touchdowns.
The catch is Gilbert’s second of the day, the first one came during the spring game’s first quarter.

Davis started things off by speaking about his championship ring, commenting on how good it feels to put it on.
“It’s beautiful,” said Davis. “We designed it ourselves, the seniors, so we knew what we were getting into. But it’s even beautiful in person. It looks a lot different from the mock ups. We love it, this is our baby right here.”
