Georgia didn't need a flashy portal QB upgrade -- the Bulldogs already had Gunner Stockton at home

Georgia’s quarterback situation took a different path this season, and the Bulldogs are already reaping the rewards of their patience. After missing out on a high-profile transfer target in 2025, the program doubled down on its own QB room—and senior Gunner Stockton has delivered with elite efficiency.

Through five games, Stockton leads the nation in completion percentage at 75.5%, tossing for 1,049 yards, 13 touchdowns, and just one interception while adding 122 yards on the ground. His precision has fueled Georgia’s top-ranked offense, averaging 51.4 points per game, proving that flashy athleticism isn’t the only way to dominate at the collegiate level.

Alabama’s Keelon Russell garners more headlines for his explosive plays, but Stockton’s steady, high-volume production has flown under the radar. Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack noted Stockton’s “highly efficient” play, praising his comfort and decision-making under pressure.

With the Bulldogs heading to Tuscaloosa for a top-10 showdown, Stockton’s consistency could be the key to another strong performance in a high-stakes SEC clash.
