The Georgia Bulldogs are headed for a quarterback competition in the coming months. Yet, there is already a clear favorite on who will be the Dawgs next QB1.
With Carson Beck joining the Miami Hurricanes, the quarterback battle is wide open in Athens, Ga. Gunner Stockton returns after being inserted into the SEC title game versus the Texas Longhorns.
Stockton went on to start the Sugar Bowl versus the Notre Dame Fighting Irish with Beck remaining sidelined.
The former four-star faces competition from Ryan Puglisi and incoming freshman Ryan Montgomery. Bleacher Report’s David Kenyon predicted the starting quarterbacks for the most intriguing signal-caller battles this offseason.

Stockton is predicted by Kenyon to get the nod over the field thanks to his experience in the Dawgs’ final two games during the 2024 season.
“Sure, the final box score [against Notre Dame] isn’t gaudy,” Kenyon wrote on Feb. 21. “When you consider that he wasn’t a full-time starter and four QBs, at best, had a more effective game opposite Notre Dame, it looks pretty solid.
“As with Alabama, there’s a returning reserve (Ryan Puglisi) and incoming blue-chip signee (Ryan Montgomery) in the mix,” Kenyon added. “Similarly, though, UGA seems most likely to promote its backup and hand the offensive reins to Stockton.”
Stockton was a four-star signal-caller in the 2022 college football recruiting class. On3.com rated Stockton as the No. 9 ranked quarterback in the country as a recruit.
