Stetson Bennett hints at potential transfer after winning Georgia a national championship

Stetson Bennett just helped bring Georgia its first national championship since 1980 but the quarterback doesn’t seem certain he’s staying in Athens.

Matched up against an Alabama dynasty and a 5-star counterpart at quarterback in Bryce Young, Georgia Bulldogs signal-caller Stetson Bennett proved countless doubters wrong on Monday night. The one known as The Mailman delivered the program its first national championship in 41 years.

Bennett may not be an NFL prospect, may not have the biggest arm and, in the simplest terms, might not be the most talented quarterback on Kirby Smart’s roster. But he showed throughout this season that his leadership and what he is capable of is more than enough for UGA’s top-tier talent and defense to get the program to the mountaintop.

But will he be back to do it again and try to repeat next season?

Georgia football: Stetson Bennett transfer a possibility?

When being interviewed on Good Morning America on Tuesday morning, Bennett was asked about his future. And his answer was quite non-committal, highlighted most notably by him saying, “I’m going to play football this year — we’ll see where. We will see if I can trust the decisions made by the staff, and we will see where I’m going to play.”

It’s understandable why Bennett might be a tad unsure of his standing. What JT Daniels, Bennett’s former 5-star backup who was hampered by injuries all season, does remains to be seen. The Bulldogs also have young top-end recruits with Brock Vandagriff and Gunner Stockton in the wings waiting as well.

Would any of those guys take Bennett’s spot? That remains to be seen but is likely the reason The Mailman is taking a wait-and-see approach regarding his future with the program.

Regardless, coming off of the title victory, it will be quite intriguing to see what the winning quarterback has planned — namely, if he remains the quarterback for the program’s title defense next season.
