The play that lit up social media feeds this week came in the fourth quarter of a marquee Thursday night showdown at Heywood Stadium in Chattanooga. Baylor led 24-13 behind a David Gabriel Georges touchdown run when Brentwood Academy answered right back, with Crews Jenkins connecting with Kesean Bowman for an 80-yard touchdown that pulled the Eagles within 24-20. Georges and Baylor had the last word, though, scoring twice more in the fourth quarter to finish the night with 173 rushing yards, 70 receiving yards, and three total touchdowns as the Red Raiders pulled away for a 38-20 win on ESPN2, extending Baylor's winning streak over Brentwood to six straight games.That’s three TDs for David Gabriel-Georges on the night. pic.twitter.com/psPFmco0wt— Caleb Sisk (@CalebSisk_) August 21, 2026Bowman's Night by the NumbersOn the night, Bowman finished with five catches for 110 yards and the game's signature 80-yard touchdown, a score that came with 11:21 left in the fourth quarter and briefly pulled Brentwood Academy back within four points, 24-20. The touchdown came on a connection with senior quarterback and Ole Miss commit Crews Jenkins, who found Bowman deep down the field for the longest play of the night by either offense. Bowman was not without a scare, getting banged up on a sideline catch late in the second quarter before returning to finish out the game. Even in a losing effort, his per-catch average of 22 yards reflected the big-play speed that has made him one of the most heavily recruited receivers in the country.Brentwood Academy's Kesean Bowman (1) runs in a touchdown against Brentwood Academy during the second half at Baylor in Chattanooga, Tenn., Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026. | USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectWho Is Kesean Bowman?Bowman is a 6-foot, 176-pound wide receiver out of Brentwood Academy who has quickly become one of the most sought-after prospects in the country.

He originally pledged to Oregon before backing off that commitment, briefly reopening his recruitment to programs like Ole Miss, LSU, Ohio State, Michigan, and Texas. He eventually narrowed his list to Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Ohio State, Alabama, and Miami before making his choice clear.
