Last week, Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks told 18-year-old Khameyea Jennings that he would take her to her prom. On Saturday night, the former Vigor High School and Auburn Tigers standout followed up on that promise, taking the cancer patient to the Franklin H. Peterson High School prom, with the couple arriving for the event at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens in Marks' Lamborghini.

"I think I look good. My date looks good. I think we'll have a great night," Marks said upon their arrival.

Jennings has liver cancer that is not responding to chemotherapy. The high school held a special graduation ceremony for her earlier this year.

"We get a lot of bumps and bruises from tackling, but nothing like she's going through," Marks told firstcoastnews.com. "Tonight, I just want make sure she has fun and keeps that smile on her face."

Marks made the prom date through the Jacksonville chapter of the Dreams Come True program, and he said it wouldn't be the end of his involvement with Jennings' battle against cancer.

"I always want to be there from here on out," he said.
