Gunner Stockton was looking for something special with his college decision.
The in-state 5-star QB chose South Carolina on Thursday evening with an impromptu tweet. Georgia finished as the runner-up in his recently established final 2.

It was relayed once to me that Stockton was looking for something only he would be able to decipher about his future college football fit.
He had his eyes downfield for something specific. Stockton, much like his prolific high school career that has yielded 113 career touchdowns up to this point, found what he was looking for.
- It wasn’t an express lane to a starting quarterback job in big-time football.
- It wasn’t a school necessarily bound to win multiple national titles in his time there
- It wasn’t going to be where everyone around town or the state expected him to go.
- It was a connection that changed rapidly since the last time everyone he played a football game in 2019.
