Georgia Newly Linked to Promising Quarterback in Latest College Football News
Georgia Newly Linked to Promising Quarterback in Latest College Football News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Georgia Bulldogs have questions behind center for the 2025 season. But they continue to impress at the position on the recruiting trail. Advertisement On3's Rusty Mansell reported Tuesday the Bulldogs hosted 2028 quarterback Brady Quinn at their summer camps this week. The signal-caller, who is already a Georgia target, looked impressive. "I'm told that 2028 quarterback Brady Quinn had a good showing," Mansell wrote. "The 2018 signal caller from South Florida is not the son of the former Notre Dame QB, before you ask. "He has early offers and was at Tennessee on Sunday and UGA on Monday." According to 247 Sports, Quinn has received offers from a dozen schools, including three SEC programs -- the Kentucky Wildcats, Missouri Tigers and Ole Miss Rebels. Georgia Bulldogs football head coach Kirby Smart© Joshua L. Jones / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images It's too early for recruiting websites to already have star rankings for 2028 prospects. Quinn only just finished his freshman year of high school. Advertisement But he's one of the early names to watch behind center for the Bulldogs in 2028. In the 2026 class, Georgia landed a verbal commitment from five-star quarterback Jared Curtis. The No. 1 overall signal-caller based on the 247 Sports composite rankings, Curtis committed to the Bulldogs, re-opened his recruitment and then verbally committed to Georgia again. For 2027, the Bulldogs are pushing for some of the class' top quarterbacks such as five-star prospect Elijah Haven and four-star Peter Bourque. This upcoming season, Georgia is expected to start Gunner Stockton behind center. Ryan Puglisi will also compete for playing time during the team's fall camp.
