Stetson Bennett has overcome a ton of obstacles en route to becoming Georgia’s starting quarterback in 2020.
Rewind years before he was leading a Bulldog team to a victory over Auburn, Bennett was once a 2-star recruit out of Pierce County High School in Blackshear, Georgia.
He wound up walking on at UGA in 2017. After redshirting, he transferred to Jones County Junior College in Ellisville, Mississippi. And then he came back and sat behind Jake Fromm for another year. Now, he’s the starter on the No. 3 ranked Georgia team that just took down then-ranked No. 7 Auburn.
Former Georgia wide receiver Jeremiah Holloman took to Twitter after Georgia’s beatdown of Auburn to share a really cool message he received from Bennett when they both in high school in 2016. Bennett had messaged Holloman, who was a highly-ranked 4-star recruit out of Convington, for contact info for a member of the Auburn coaching staff. Bennett was preparing to go to an Auburn camp and “just wanted someone to know” that he’d be in attendance.

Bennett completed 17/28 passes for 240 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions during Georgia’s 26-7 victory over the Tigers.
As Holloman said on Twitter – “I think they know you now.”
