Gunner Stockton
Georgia·6-1·215 lbScouting Report
A short-game timing passer with a modest arm.
The case for
- Excels in the short game and can hit every throw inside 10 yards, per Vikings Wire
- Ball placement fits a timing and play-action offense that wants to stay on schedule
- Efficient 2026 start with a 75.5 percent completion rate and 10.3 yards per attempt
The worry
- Smaller quarterback at 6-1 and 215 pounds
- Below-average arm talent limits the throws he can make outside the numbers
- Struggles to push the ball vertically down the field
Full report
Gunner Stockton is a former four-star recruit from Tiger, Georgia who has settled in as Georgia's starter and is building a case as a developmental Day 3 quarterback in a 2027 class billed as one of the deepest in years. At 6-1 and 215 pounds, he wins with placement, timing and a willingness to move the chains with his legs rather than with a big arm. Through five games of 2026 he has completed 75.5 percent of his passes for 1,049 yards and 13 touchdowns against one interception, averaging 10.3 yards per attempt. ScoutingGrade sees growth in the Vanderbilt game, where Georgia handed him a heavier passing load and he went 25 of 32 for 295 yards and three scores without a pick. Vikings Wire's summer report praised his command of the short game and his upside as a playmaker, pointing to a near-flawless outing against Ole Miss. The same report is far less kind on his tools, citing a smaller frame, below-average arm talent, an inability to drive the ball downfield and mechanics that need work, and it gave him an undrafted grade with a camp invite as the likely path. ScoutingGrade is a little warmer, ranking him No. 238 on its big board with a Round 7 range. His fit is a timing, play-action offense built on defined reads, and his draft stock hinges on whether he can find answers once the first option is taken away.
Every strength
- Protects the football, with 13 touchdowns against one interception on 102 attempts
- Handled a bigger passing workload against Vanderbilt, 25 of 32 for 295 yards and three scores with no interception
- Delivered a near-flawless game against Ole Miss, 26 of 31 for 289 yards and four touchdowns
- Useful runner who added 97 rushing yards at Arkansas and 122 on the season
- Plus playmaking upside when the play breaks down
Every weakness
- Tends to hold the ball too long when pressure arrives in big moments
- Mechanics need cleaning up before he can be trusted at the next level
- Limited starting experience on a loaded Georgia roster
- Much of his early touchdown output came against Tennessee State and Western Kentucky
- Still has to prove he can work past the first read when coverage takes it away
