ESPN predicted the starting quarterbacks (subscription required) for every Power Four program in college football next season and has Gunner Stockton returning as Georgia’s starting quarterback in 2025.
In Stockton’s only start, the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame, he went 20-of-32 passing for 234 yards and a touchdown. He went 8-of-10 on play actions that showed his decisiveness and arm strength.
“Stockton got the job done in the SEC title game and pulled off an overtime win over Texas.” said ESPN. “(Georgia) appear(s) to be moving forward with Stockton as their QB1 for 2025.”
Georgia’s remaining scholarship quarterbacks are Ryan Puglisi, Hezekiah Millender and Ryan Montgomery. None have starting experience. Puglisi turned heads this past season as he moved into the backup role around bowl season and overtook Jaden Rashada’s place on the depth chart.
The competition will more than likely be between Stockton and Puglisi with Stockton having the slight upper hand due to having more experience.
In the offseason, Georgia has been very active in pursuit of a quarterback within the transfer portal but has not received a commitment. The Bulldogs are looking to add an experienced quarterback via the portal.
Expect the Georgia quarterback battle to last throughout spring and possibly into fall camp.
