5-star Georgia QB commit Gunner Stockton puts up CRAZY numbers in win

Gunner Stockton went OFF!

5-star quarterback Gunner Stockton has been committed to Georgia since January of 2021.

The 6-foot-1, 195 pound dual-threat passer out of Rabun County High School ranks as the nation’s No. 28 overall player in the class of 2022 and as the top ranked dual-threat quarterback, per Rivals.

On Saturday, Stockton showed why he deserves those rankings, putting up absolutely insane numbers in a win over Pace Academy.

Stockton accounted for 7 total touchdowns (6 passing, 1 rushing). He passed for 382 yards and added another 105 on the ground.

Stockton also made his prediction for Georgia vs Clemson, this coming Saturday in Charlotte.

Georgia’s 2022 recruiting class vaults into the top two

The 2022 Georgia football recruiting class vaults into the top two after their most recent commit

On Sunday, March 28th, the Georgia Bulldogs gained a commitment from highly-touted linebacker Jalon Walker. Walker is a 4-star prospect that ranks in the top-50 nationally in his 2022 class.

The outside linebacker currently attends school at Salisbury High School in Salisbury, North Carolina. He also ranks as the fourth-best recruit at his position and the second-best out of NC.

The addition of Walker has now brought the Bulldogs into the top two classes of 2022. Both 247Sports and Rivals has Georgia’s class ranked as the second overall, with Ohio State having the top class on both platforms.

UGA now has ten total commits for 2022. Three of those are 5-star prospects and the remaining seven are 4-star prospects. Don’t be surprised if Georgia ends up bumping Ohio State from the top spot as the Bulldogs have interest from plenty of other top prospects.

Georgia football extends offer to 2022 athlete

2022 Athlete prospect DeMario Tolan receives an offer from the University of Georgia football team

Late Thursday night, 2022 football prospect DeMario Tolan took to Twitter to announce that he has received a scholarship offer from the University of Georgia.

Tolan stands at 6’3, 205 pounds. He attends school at Tohopekaliga High School in Kissimmee, Florida. He is currently unranked on 247 Sports. Tolan has received offers from many different division 1 schools, including Florida State, Miami, LSU, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M.

Tolan plays primarily at the linebacker position in high school, but he can get on the edge and rush the quarterback as well. Expect Tolan to continue to grow and find a role that would suit him at the college position.

Tolan would make a great addition to the 2022 Georgia recruiting class – only time will tell if he will accept the offer.
