BREAKING: 5-Star QB Gunner Stockton Flips Commitment to Alabama in Shocking Move
In a major shake-up on the college football recruiting trail, Gunner Stockton — the nation’s No. 1-rated quarterback in the Class of 20XX — has officially flipped his commitment from the University of Georgia to the University of Alabama. The stunning decision, announced via Stockton’s social media on Monday morning, has sent shockwaves through the SEC and the national college football landscape.
Stockton, a five-star talent widely regarded for his dual-threat abilities and elite football IQ, had been committed to Georgia for over a year. The Rabun County (GA) standout was seen as a cornerstone of Georgia’s future offense and a potential heir to the Bulldogs’ quarterback throne. However, after an official visit to Tuscaloosa last weekend, momentum began to shift — and now, Alabama has landed one of the top prizes of the 20XX recruiting cycle.
“I’ve prayed a lot, talked with my family, and ultimately believe Alabama is the best place for me to grow on and off the field,” Stockton said in a statement. “This wasn’t an easy decision, but I’m thankful for everything Georgia has done for me throughout this process.”
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound quarterback has been dominant in high school, throwing for over 4,000 yards and 45 touchdowns last season, while rushing for another 900 yards. His arm strength, mobility, and poise under pressure make him a perfect fit for Alabama’s dynamic offensive system under head coach Kalen DeBoer.
For Georgia, the loss is significant, especially given Stockton’s long-standing commitment and ties to the program. Meanwhile, Alabama fans are celebrating yet another recruiting win, reinforcing the Tide’s continued dominance in attracting elite talent.
With National Signing Day just months away, all eyes will be on Stockton as he prepares to lead the next generation of Crimson Tide quarterbacks.
