Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton has not yet announced his decision regarding participation in the 2026 college football season or entering the 2026 NFL Draft. Stockton, who became the starter after the 2024 season, had a breakout 2025 season, leading Georgia to an SEC Championship and a College Football Playoff appearance with nearly 3,500 total yards and 34 touchdowns.
