College career
McIntosh saw limited playing time as a freshman during Georgia's 2019 season, garnering 174 yards and 2 touchdowns on 25 carries while playing behind fellow running backs D'Andre Swift, Brian Herrien, Zamir White, and James Cook.[4] As a sophomore in the shortened 2020 season, McIntosh rushed for 251 yards (third most behind White and Cook) and 1 touchdown on 47 carries (second most behind White).[5] In 13 games as a junior in 2021 (including the SEC Championship and Georgia's two playoff games), McIntosh ran for 328 yards and 3 touchdowns on 58 carries (third most behind White and Cook), adding another 242 yards receiving and 2 touchdown catches.[6]
On December 31, 2021, in the first quarter of the Orange Bowl against Michigan (first round of the CFP), Georgia ran a trick play in which McIntosh took a handoff from quarterback Stetson Bennett, rolled to the right, and completed an 18-yard touchdown pass to receiver Adonai Mitchell, putting Georgia up 14–0.[7]
