Georgia Bulldogs junior quarterback Stetson Bennett was Georgia’s primary back-up behind current Buffalo Bills QB Jake Fromm in 2019. Bennett played in five games last season.
He threw for 260 yards completing 20/27 of his passing attempts. Bennett also passed for a pair of touchdowns and one interception. He rushed for twelve yards and scored one rushing touchdown.
Bennett is projected to be the back-up behind Jamie Newman in 2020 and will compete with D’Wan Mathis, and Carson Beck. Bennett has the most experience in UGA’s system, but lacks the physical talent that Mathis, Beck, and Newman all have.
Bennett came to Athens as a lightly recruited three-star prospect. He redshirted in 2017, while playing scout team quarterback. He then transferred to Jones County Junior College in Ellisville, Mississippi. He helped Jones County win their conference, scoring 20 total TDs and accumulating almost 2,000 total yards in the process.
Following his junior college season, Bennett transferred back to the University of Georgia and enrolled for the spring semester of 2019.
