Stetson Bennett: The Bulldog Who Wouldn't Leave the Yard (Unless It Was a Junior College Yard)
The University of Georgia football program has a rich history of producing stellar quarterbacks. From Fran Tarkenton to Matthew Stafford, these guys sling the pigskin with the best of them. But then there's Stetson Bennett IV, a man who rewrote the script for "time management" in college athletics. Buckle up, folks, because this is a wild ride.

From Walk-On to Wanderer: Stetson's Early Days
Stetson's journey began in 2017, a bright-eyed freshman walking on to the Georgia Bulldogs. Unfortunately, playing time was as scarce as a Georgia snowstorm (which is basically never). With the arrival of 5-star recruit Justin Fields in 2018, Stetson realized his chances of leading the Dawgs to glory were about as likely as him convincing Kirby Smart to wear a turtleneck. So, Stetson did what any self-respecting quarterback with a touch of wanderlust would do: he hit the transfer portal, landing at Jones College, a junior college known for its...well, let's just say it's not Harvard.
Back to Athens: The Return of the Prodigal Quarterback (Well, Sort Of)
After a stint at Jones College (where we can only assume he learned the art of the Hail Mary and the importance of a good spiral), Stetson returned to Athens in 2019. This time, though, he wasn't just a walk-on – he was a scholarship athlete! But the road to starting QB wasn't exactly paved with roses. Stetson spent the next few years backing up Jake Fromm and JT Daniels, occasionally getting playing time and showcasing his moxie (and impressive mustache).
The People's Champ: Stetson Leads Georgia to National Glory (Twice!)
Then, in 2021, something magical happened. JT Daniels went down with an injury, and Stetson, the underdog, the guy who once walked on, stepped up. And boy, did he step up! Stetson led the Bulldogs to a national championship victory, proving that sometimes the best things in life come to those who wait (and maybe transfer to a junior college for a bit). But Stetson wasn't done yet. He repeated the feat in 2022, becoming the first Georgia QB to lead the team to back-to-back national championships.
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.
So, How Long Was Stetson in College?
A very, very long time. We're talking six years, folks. That's practically a medical residency for throwing a football. Some say he aged like a fine wine, others say he just learned a lot about the finer points of the Athens nightlife. Regardless, Stetson made the most of his college experience, even if it took him a little longer than most.
