As anticipation builds for the 2025 SEC Media Days in Atlanta next week, all eyes are on Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton, who will be making his first appearance as the Bulldogs’ offensive representative. Head coach Kirby Smart has confirmed that Stockton, along with defensive standouts CJ Allen (junior ILB) and Daylen Everette (senior CB), will represent the Bulldogs — signaling the start of a new chapter under center in Athens.
With Carson Beck off to the NFL, the spotlight now turns to Gunner Stockton, the strong-armed, dual-threat quarterback entering his junior year. Long touted as the future of Georgia’s offense, Stockton is finally stepping into the limelight — and Media Days will be his first major public platform as QB1.

“Gunner has earned the trust of the locker room,” Kirby Smart said recently. “He’s smart, confident, and he’s ready for this moment.”
Stockton’s inclusion in the SEC’s marquee preseason event not only confirms his status as the starter but also sets the tone for Georgia’s offense heading into fall camp.
Alongside Stockton, CJ Allen and Daylen Everette will bring leadership and intensity from the defensive side.
- CJ Allen, a rising junior, impressed in 2024 with his range, tackling, and football IQ. He’s expected to be the signal-caller of Georgia’s linebacker corps in 2025.
- Daylen Everette, now a seasoned corner, brings SEC experience and lockdown ability in the secondary. He’s considered one of the top returning corners in the league.
Their presence reflects Kirby Smart’s continued focus on elite defensive culture, even as the spotlight shifts to the new quarterback era.
Georgia enters the 2025 season with national title aspirations once again, and SEC Media Days will serve as the unofficial launchpad. With Gunner Stockton now officially at the forefront, the Bulldogs look to blend experience, young star power, and high expectations into another championship campaign.
