Georgia football quarterback Gunner Stockton set to launch his second career game as starter in the team's opening game against Marshall
Redshirt Junior Gunner Stockton to Lead No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs in 2025 Season Opener
Redshirt junior Gunner Stockton, a four-star quarterback from the class of 2022, has been confirmed as the starting quarterback for the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs in their 2025 season opener against the Marshall Thundering Herd.
Stockton, who hails from Tiger and played high school football at Rabun County High School, has always had playing ball at Georgia on his mind. His determination to be a part of the Bulldogs' team was unwavering, and he expressed that he did not want to go anywhere else.
In the SEC Championship against Texas last season, Stockton filled in for Carson Beck and rallied the Dawgs to a win, throwing for 234 yards and a touchdown. Although the Bulldogs later lost to Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl, Stockton's performance was commendable. However, no information about Carson Beck's status or future plans has been disclosed.
As Stockton leads a team with a large number of new faces in the 2025 season, his role is crucial. He has mentioned that being more vocal has helped him connect with the team and understand how everyone is doing. This camaraderie is likely to be a significant factor in the team's success.
The Bulldogs' goal for the 2025 season remains the same as previous seasons: Win a national championship. With Stockton at the helm, fans are hopeful that this goal will become a reality.
The kickoff between the Bulldogs and the Thundering Herd is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, but no information about the location or date of the first game of the 2025 season for the Bulldogs has been provided.
Despite the lack of information about other players on the team, Stockton's enthusiasm for the upcoming season is palpable. He expressed his excitement about the first game, stating that he cannot wait to run out there, compete, and have fun with the team.
While Baillie Burmaster, a WNBA broadcaster who covers selected home games for some teams, is not directly associated with the Bulldogs' football team, her presence in the sports commentating world underscores the growing interest and anticipation surrounding the upcoming season.
As the 2025 season approaches, Bulldogs fans are eagerly waiting to see how Stockton and the team will perform. With Stockton's determination, vocal leadership, and obvious passion for the game, there is no doubt that the Bulldogs will give their all to achieve their goal of winning a national championship.
