Highlights of 5-star UGA commit Gunner Stockton

Five-star Rabun County High School quarterback Gunner Stockton has committed to the Georgia Bulldogs and has incredible highlights.

The Georgia Bulldogs football program landed a commitment from another five-star quarterback, Gunner Stockton. Stockton, a member of the class of 2022, is ranked the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in his class. His highlights are certainly worthy of his impressive ranking.

Stockton plays football for Rabun County High School in Tiger, Georgia. He was originally committed to South Carolina, but backed off his commitment after the Gamecocks fired Will Muschamp and Mike Bobo left for Auburn.

On tape, Stockton is elusive in the pocket, shows off a powerful arm, and has good ball placement. The five-star prospect has good athleticism and speed as well. He’s got a good, quick release and often finds space for his receivers in the back of the end zone.

Gunner Stockton still has another season of high school to improve. He is adept in the read-option game and a threat to take it the distance at the high school level. His biggest weakness is his height at 6-foot-1, but he makes up for it by varying his positions in and outside of the pocket.

The Rabun County quarterback uses fakes to deceive the defense. Although he has a powerful arm, Stockton often puts air under the ball to give his receivers a better chance to catch the football.

No. 1 2022 dual-threat QB decommits from South Carolina

The No. 1 rated dual-threat QB in the class of 2022 has decommitted from South Carolina. What does this mean for Georgia football?

Gunner Stockton, the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2022, has decommitted from the University of South Carolina.

Stockton, the 6-foot-1, 220 pound Tiger, Georgia native wants to reassess his options after a number of personnel changes have occurred with the Gamecocks.  The biggest one, which is most likely Stockton’s reason for his decommittment, is the firing of head coach Will Muschamp earlier this season.

Stockton released his statement via his Twitter account on Tuesday.

Now why is this so important to Georgia football?

Prior to Stockton’s commitment to South Carolina, his top two schools were South Carolina and Georgia.  Stockton is a Georgia native and could very well decide to come play ball for Kirby Smart in Athens.

The Dawgs quarterback room is a bit slim for the future believe it or not.  J.T. Daniels locked up the starting spot this year and highly sought after recruit Brock Vandagriff will be coming in next year.

Right now 247Sports experts predict a 50/50 split between Stockton signing with Auburn or back to South Carolina.  UGA Wire will keep you updated on all news Gunner Stockton as this story unravels.
