Former SEC QB thinks Georgia's Gunner Stockton is being underestimated
Even though Georgia Bulldogs projected started quarterback Gunner Stockton has drawn doubters this offseason, one notable person at the SEC media days believes he is being overscrutinized. SEC Network analyst and former Vanderbilt Commodores quarterback Jordan Rodgers offered words that can leave Georgia fans hopeful. "I just think people are really underestimating how talented Gunner Stockton actually is," Rodgers said. "Probably because he sat behind Carson Beck who is one of the most gifted throwers in the country. Like he is a dual-threat guy, he is a legitimate threat to run the football. And I think in that Sugar Bowl, he played good enough to win that game. His offensive line couldn't block anybody, his receivers let him down over and over again. He continued, under pressure, to work the ball in tight windows. I think a lot of people are overlooking just how good Gunner Stockton is." In his first collegiate start, after replacing the injured Carson Beck after the SEC championship game, Stockton delivered a strong performance against Notre Dame, throwing for 234 yards and a touchdown while completing 62.5% of his passes. With a full season ahead, Stockton has a chance to make sure his doubters were wrong and prove people like Jordan Rodgers right. Stockton will have a couple of weeks to adjust to starting. He'll play a pair of non-Power Four opponents to start the season before playing at Tennessee in Week 3. Follow UGAWire on Instagram or Threads for more UGA football coverage!

4-star Buford safety Nascar McCoy names his top 5 schools
Four-star safety recruit Nascar McCoy has narrowed down his options to just five schools ahead of his commitment. McCoy appears to be planning to announce his commitment on Friday, July 25 between 6 and 10 p.m. ET at a night club in Atlanta. McCoy's top five schools are the Georgia Bulldogs, Michigan Wolverines, Ole Miss Rebels, Texas A&M Aggies and Miami Hurricanes. McCoy plays high school football for Buford High School in Buford, Georgia. Buford is one of the top high school football programs in the country. The Georgia Bulldogs already have a pair of commitments from Buford in three-star athlete Tyriq Green and three-star offensive lineman Graham Houston. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound safety is ranked as the No. 325 recruit in the country and the No. 40 player in Georgia, per the 247Sports Composite. McCoy, who is a member of the class of 2026 and is a rising senior, is the No. 26 safety in the nation. In McCoy's top schools announcement, he does not explicitly say his commitment date is July 25, but based on the context of his announcement (below) you can imply he'll make his commitment then. Georgia already has three safety commitments in the class of 2026 in Zech Fort, Jordan Smith and Kealan Jones. Athlete Tyriq Green also likely projects to be a safety, so it is a bit unlikely Georgia would be looking to add a fourth or fifth safety recruit to their 2026 signing class. Interestingly, the Auburn Tigers have hosted McCoy on visits more than any other program, but the Buford star did not include the Tigers in his top five. The four-star is projected to commit to Ole Miss, per Rivals. Follow UGAWire on Instagram or Threads for more Georgia recruiting coverage!

Georgia football recruit, 17, arrested over 'violent driving incident'... days before alleged accomplice is killed
Georgia football recruit Chace Calicut was one of two teens arrested this month over their alleged involvement in a violent driving incident - just days before his accused accomplice was shot and killed at a pool party. According to Fox 26 in Houston, Calicut and a fellow 17-year-old were charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after the incident on July 6, which was a mere nine days after he committed to the Bulldogs. The four-star cornerback recruit, who is the No 114 player overall in the 2026 recruiting class, committed to the University of Georgia's football team on June 27. The alleged driving incident nine days later is said to have occurred in Calicut's home city of Houston, where he currently plays for North Shore High School. Court documents state that he is accused of driving in front of an unidentified male teen driver, who had an unnamed female passenger in his car at the time, and hitting his brakes to force the other male to slam on his own in a bid to avoid a crash, as per Fox 26. The other male then attempted to drive around Calicut's vehicle to get away, only for the Georgia commit to allegedly pull up next to him and drive erratically in front of and next to him. Calicut's passenger - who was identified as 17-year-old Isaiah Brice Phillip - is then accused of holding a hangun out and pointing it toward the other vehicle. Update: the deceased male has been identified as Phillip, Isaiah Brice (17). — Ed Gonzalez (@SheriffEd_HCSO) July 23, 2025 After he was able to elude the car, it is also alleged that the unnamed male heard several gunshots and that another friend had seen Phillip shooting out of the window. Calicut and the other driver, who claims the football star had been threatening him for months, are believed to know each other from school. He and Phillip were reportedly arrested and charged on July 18. And just over two weeks on from the alleged driving incident, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez has announced that Phillip was killed in a shooting that occured in the area on Sunday. Harris County officials said multiple shooters fired into a crowd of around 25-30 teens between the ages of 15 and 17 years old at a pool party on Liberty River Drive, with Phillip one of three who was hit. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A 15-year-old girl was taken by ambulance to a local emergency room and then by Life Flight. The third person, also 15, was taken to hospital. Calicut is said to have had his first court appearance on July 22nd, where a judge set his bond at $20k.
