Best Of

The Stockton family is very, very well thought of here in Rabun County. Rob Stockton is certainly a gentleman. Gunner is a timid Hero here that doesn’t beat his chest. I’ve not had the pleasure and honor of meeting Gunner in person though I hope to in the off season.

My wife and I have a bit of a connection to Rob Stockton. You could say we wouldn’t be here in Rabun County without him. And I’ll let Yall figure that out.

I Love seeing people that are perceived as a bit of a underdog do well. People like Gunner are not in the prototypical mold you might say though he actually ranked pretty high coming out of HS. I’m no expert or coach just a typical fan but I thought his HS stats should have made him a solid. “ across the board “ 5 star but some agencies had him as a 4 some had him as a 5.
I don’t know Why I just felt in my heart that he was gonna do well if given a chance to get his footing no pun intended. So I’m thankful ( I’m very sure Gunner is) that Kirby gave him the opportunity.

There was some background noise from a few criticizing him on anything and everything they could think of. On the game day thread there’s Still one guy but for him I think some how it’s personal as he goes waaaay to far.

Gunner might make mistakes going forward, he’s human, but you won’t see anyone give More effort to help our Dawgs win !! Up to and including putting his body in peril !! Knowing he’s about to take a vicious hit. I’ve often thought that that is one of the differences in a very good and great Wide Receiver. That great guy is gonna make that game winning catch Even when he knows the defender is gonna level him !!

Though Gunner is a very important and intricate part I Honestly think that as a TEAM these Dawgs can win the National Title. That’s ALL of them playing their very best football.

Early on I’d have thought that was a sweet dream but Maybe not realistic. Now though I see our Dawgs being able to stand toe to toe with Any team in CFB !! Like other Dawgs teams in the past This team has formed a Very strong Brotherhood Bond. They play for each other, they build each other up. They have Excellent Unit Cohesion. They Love one another and that makes for a formidable football team or really Any unit in life where working Together smoothly is a Must !! Go Dawgs !!

Hail Mary?! That was a “dime” that only one person had a chance to catch! That may be the most precise throw under those conditions you will ever see. Definitely not a heave toward the endzone as a hope and prayer that has come to be known as a “Hail Mary”.

All I can say..GUNNER will ALWAYS be a DGD!

Jeff—What a great article! Very nice insider info of people throughout his life that have molded him into the great QB that he is today. Very enjoyable.

Great story Jeff! Can't wait for Gunner's next level…

Happy Thanksgiving!

Superb story of our favorite and his family. Thanks for the share and the time it took to research the writeup!!

He was raised right by good folks!

One of the best articles I've read in a long time. Thank you.

When Gunner was in high school, I knew he was going to be Georgia's quarterback. When he was committed to South Carolina, I told everyone he was going to Georgia. He's done his job this season, very well, so far, but I believe the best is yet to come.

Go, Dawgs!

Gunner has his priorities right…God first..then family…then UGA football and/or his herd of cattle..? LOL
