The University of Georgia’s star quarterback, Gunner Stockton, has officially broken his silence after inking a monumental three-year contract extension with the Bulldogs. The news, which has been buzzing through the college football world, marks a significant step in the young athlete’s career and Georgia’s future in college football.
Stockton, a highly touted recruit out of Georgia’s own Murphy High School, has been part of the Bulldogs’ program since joining the team as a freshman. Known for his impressive arm strength, agility, and poise under pressure, Stockton has long been seen as the heir apparent to Georgia’s quarterback position. His new contract extension reflects the trust and faith that the Bulldogs coaching staff, led by Kirby Smart, have placed in him to lead their offense for the foreseeable future.
In an exclusive statement following the announcement, Stockton expressed his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity. “It’s an honor to be a part of such a storied program,” Stockton said. “I’ve dreamed of wearing the red and black for as long as I can remember, and now to have the chance to commit to the Bulldogs for the next three years is a dream come true. I’m ready to put in the work and help this team win championships.”
Stockton’s new deal, which reportedly includes performance bonuses and incentives based on individual and team success, ensures he will remain a key figure in Georgia’s offensive lineup through at least the 2027 season. The contract also gives the Bulldogs a significant advantage in recruiting, as Stockton’s commitment is expected to attract other top-tier prospects to Athens.
As the 2025 college football season draws nearer, Stockton will look to build on the momentum from his impressive performances in previous years. Last season, he showcased his abilities in limited appearances, throwing for over 1,000 yards and several touchdowns in relief duty. The new deal also means he will be looking to claim the starting quarterback position as his own in the upcoming year, following the graduation of several key seniors.
Georgia’s athletic director, Josh Brooks, praised Stockton’s leadership both on and off the field. “Gunner is the type of player who elevates everyone around him,” Brooks stated. “His work ethic, determination, and commitment to excellence are exactly what we need as we continue to compete for national championships.”
With his new contract secured, Stockton’s future in Athens is bright. Bulldogs fans are eagerly awaiting his performance on the field, confident that the young quarterback will lead Georgia to even greater success in the years to come.
