“Gunner did agree to a deal with UGA for the 2026 season,” his rep, Faryn Healy of ESM, told On3. “He did not feel an announcement was necessary as he is a player who would never consider transferring. He could have earned two to three times more by entering the portal, but Gunner bleeds red and black."

It's not often you hear about college athletes taking a lesser deal in today's world, but Stockton so to ensure the Bulldogs could take care of business at other spots on the roster.

“He wanted UGA to have the budget to retain and acquire the talent for the roster needed to compete for another championship," Healy said. "Gunner doesn’t play football at UGA for money. Leading that team is his lifelong dream.”
