ESPN college football expert and “College GameDay” host Rece Davis is not fully sold on Georgia Bulldogs star quarterback Gunner Stockton ahead of the 2025 college football season.
“Even though we saw some of Gunner Stockton, albeit in very difficult circumstances for Gunner Stockton, I still think there’s a question for Georgia at quarterback,” Davis said on the “ESPN College GameDay” podcast. Davis thinks Georgia did a good job in the transfer portal and likes USC transfer wide receiver Zachariah Branch.
“A lot of the quarterback races will come down to who will win the locker room,” added Davis. He thinks that Stockton, a former four-star recruit, has the physical ability and should win over the locker room a little more than Carson Beck. However, Davis still needs to see how Stockton performs.
“I have a lot of confidence in him (Stockton) and I do want to see it,” Davis said.
Davis was notably more confident in Texas than Georgia. He thinks Texas will at least advance to the SEC championship for a second consecutive season.
Davis doesn’t necessarily doubt Georgia, but he wants to see how Gunner Stockton does after having a full season to prepare as the starter. Davis is impressed with Stockton’s 1984 Ford pickup truck in this era of college football. While other quarterbacks are driving luxury cars, Stockton is staying humble.
Stockton and Georgia will have a chance to prove they are national championship contenders starting on Aug. 30 against Marshall.
