Stetson Bennett Career

In 2017, Bennett was a walk-on at Georgia his freshman season. He did not take a snap the whole season. After five-star high school quarterback Justin Fields committed to Georgia in 2018, Bennett decided to transfer to Jones County Junior College.

In 2021, Bennett began the season as the backup to JT Daniels. He made his first appearance and first start of the 2021 season against the UAB Blazers after Daniels went down with an oblique injury. In that game, Bennett tied the record for most touchdowns in a game by a Georgia quarterback, with five. Bennett was trusted with the starting job for the rest of the season, and he led the Bulldogs to a 12–0 record. He finished the season with 29 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

On December 4, 2021, Bennett threw for three touchdowns and two interceptions in the 41–24 loss in the SEC Championship Game against the Alabama Crimson Tide. He was criticized for the loss, leading many to believe that JT Daniels should get the start against Michigan in the Orange Bowl. Despite the loss, Bennett led the Bulldogs to a victory in the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship game in a rematch against Alabama. It was Georgia’s first national title since 1980.

On January 20, 2022, just ten days after winning the National Championship and amid speculation that he would transfer, Bennett announced his return to Georgia. In the preseason, Adam Rittenberg named Bennett a Heisman Trophy candidate.

Bennett entered the season as the starter, and in the season opener against Oregon, he threw for a then career-high 368 yards while throwing and rushing for three total touchdowns in a 49−3 rout. After his performance, he was named the Walter Camp National Player of the Week and the Manning Award Quarterback of the Week. The following week, Bennett threw for 300 yards, before being replaced in the third-quarter by backup Carson Beck, in a 33−0 victory.

During the 2022 regular season, Bennett led Georgia to a 13−0 record, including an SEC Championship. During the 2022 SEC Championship Game, he passed for four touchdowns and 274 yards and was named the game’s MVP in a 50−30 victory. Bennett finished the year with 20 touchdowns, 3,425 passing yards, 6 interceptions, and 7 rushing touchdowns. On December 5, 2022, Bennett was named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy. Bennett and the Bulldogs remained #1 and faced up against C. J. Stroud and the #4 ranked Ohio State in the 2022 Peach Bowl. Bennett and the Bulldogs beat Ohio State with a score of 42–41 to advance to the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship for the second consecutive year.

On January 9, 2023, Bennett and the Bulldogs defeated the TCU Horned Frogs in the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship, with a score of 65-7. He was named the offensive MVP of the game after combining for six total touchdowns. This tied him with Joe Burrow, for the most total touchdowns in a College Football Playoff National Championship Game. With the victory, Bennett led Georgia to the largest margin of victory in any bowl game at the FBS level and becoming just the third team in college football history to finish the season with a record of 15−0.

Bennett finished the season passing for 4,127 yards. With this mark, he surpassed the previous record for passing yards in a single season, set by Aaron Murray in 2012.
