Gunner Stockton is preparing for his second season as the Georgia Bulldogs' starting quarterback. After securing an SEC title and making a College Football Playoff appearance last year, he's hoping to guide the program to its fifth national championship.

During spring workouts in March, the quarterback suffered a minor knee injury that head coach Kirby Smart described as "a little offseason injury." Luckily, though, it's not expected to be a long-term issue.

The 22-year-old faces high expectations for the upcoming 2026 college football season. Georgia currently has the best odds to win the SEC (+260) and the sixth-best odds (+1000) to win a national championship, per DraftKings.

While the Bulldogs have time before kicking the season off against the Tennessee State Tigers on Sept. 5, Stockton continues to make moves off the field. In the NIL era, he has revealed partnerships with companies such as Onward Reserve, HEYDUDE and CAVA.

On Thursday, he added to a growing portfolio. In a joint Instagram post with Georgia offensive lineman Drew Bobo, he revealed a new partnership with PruittHealth.

"From the field to our communities, teamwork is everything," the post reads. "Proud to partner with organizations like @PruittHealth who show up for Georgia every day #GoDawgs #PruittHealthPartner."

As the starting quarterback for a team as prominent as the Bulldogs, Stockton's personal brand continues to grow. His On3 NIL valuation of $1.4 million is tied for the 34th-highest in college football.

With his latest partnership revealed, the 2025 third-team All-SEC selectee focuses on improving. Last year, he already threw for 2,894 yards, 24 touchdowns and five interceptions. With high expectations, Stockton is set to enter the 2026 season as one of college football's most closely watched quarterbacks.
