College football is not only about the players on the field. It is also about the families that support them behind the scenes. Gunner Stockton is the Bulldogs’ savior! The new quarterback has been making headlines lately, especially after stepping into the spotlight following an injury to former starter Carson Beck during Georgia’s SEC Championship game against the Longhorns. Naturally, losing your QB1 after the first half of an important matchup would have worried anyone. But Kirby Smart didn’t sweat because he knew he had a backup ready.
And that’s what happened. Entering the game when the Bulldogs were trailing, Stockton led the offense to a touchdown drive and managed proceedings effortlessly from there on. The contrast between QB1 and QB2 is beyond how they play (Stockton can use his legs). See, Carson Beck has made a name for himself over the years at Bulldogs, and while he cruised around campus in a flashy Lamborghini worth over $300,000, Gunner Stockton is more down-to-earth. As Smart and Gunner are busy preparing for his big start against Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl, let’s take a moment to shine a light on his family, particularly his sister Georgia.

Georgia Stockton is not just Gunner’s sister; she’s also a talented athlete in her own right. Growing up in Tiger, Georgia, Gunner and Georgia’s childhoods involved sports. Their father, Rob Stockton, was a standout safety at Georgia Southern, and their mother, Sherri Stockton, was a basketball player at Erskine College. With such strong athletic backgrounds, it’s hardly surprising both siblings excelled in their respective sports.

While Gunner Stockton is busy establishing a name for himself, his sister is making waves in the fitness and wellness scene as a dedicated fitness trainer and entrepreneur. Over the years, she has established herself as a prominent figure in the Pilates community. One of Georgia’s standout ventures is SZN Planners, where she serves as the founder. The mission behind SZN Planners is simple yet powerful. “Create the best version of you one page at a time.” Her planners help individuals stay organized and focused on their goals.
In addition to her work with planners, Georgia is also the founder of The PUSH, a dynamic fitness studio that offers high-intensity reformer Pilates workouts. At PUSH, participants are challenged to push beyond their limits in an energetic environment filled with colorful neon lights and heart-pumping music. Not only that, but she also oversees PUSH Pilates—Tuscaloosa, located right in the heart of downtown on the corner of University Blvd & 19th Ave.

Beyond her entrepreneurial ventures, Georgia is also an athlete and a proud alumna of UGA. Now, with Gunner stepping into this pivotal role, Georgia’s support is more important than ever. The Stockton family has deep roots in Bulldog country; their grandfather was also a UGA alumnus. It’s safe to say that they bleed red and black! Moving forward, let’s discuss if Gunner has a brother.
Does Gunner Stockton have a brother?
No, Gunner Stockton does not have a brother. Gunner and Georgia come from a close-knit family that values hard work and dedication. Their parents, Rob and Sherrie Stockton, have always been their biggest supporters. Rob, who played football at Georgia Southern, has instilled a love for the game in his children.

In a heartfelt statement reported by the Rivals, Rob said, “The number one thing for Gunner is that he’s known our community, and especially our family, his friends, and those people closest to him, believe in him. We’ve always loved him and want the best for him. This is something that he’s worked for [and] something he’s dreamed of. You look at pictures of your kid, and they’re throwing the ball in your backyard and dreaming of being the starting quarterback at the University of Georgia. It has happened. It is unreal.”
Gunner Stockton’s journey to becoming Georgia’s starting quarterback has been filled with hard work and determination. His sister and his parents are the driving force behind his achievements. Are you ready to watch him excel against Notre Dame?
