Georgia football quarterback commit Gunner Stockton has broken a Georgia high school record set by former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson

Georgia football quarterback commit Gunner Stockton has broken one of former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson’s high school records in Georgia.

Stockton, a member of the class of 2022, is a four-star recruit who plays for Rabun County in the state’s AA division. He is the fifth-ranked quarterback in his class.

In Rabun’s win over Grovetown, Stockton scored his 219th career touchdown, which broke Watson’s record of 218.

Rabun County and Stockton have three more games, so he will continue to add to his total. Stockton is a great passer and rusher at the high school level.

The 6-foot-1, 220-pound quarterback originally committed to South Carolina, but changed his mind after the Gamecocks fired Will Muschamp and Mike Bobo left for Auburn.

Stockton still has a chance to set the state record for career passing yards. He is behind Trevor Lawrence, Deshaun Watson, Jake Fromm and Harrison Bailey.

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.
