Stetson Fleming Bennett IV (born October 28, 1998) is an American football quarterback for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Now, all at once, the moment finally overtook a 23-year-old football player named Stetson Bennett IV. All at once Bennett — the best story in this college football season — began to weep on the sideline. He looked at the scoreboard and saw the evidence of what he and his teammates had done — Georgia 33, Alabama 18 — and that’s all it took. 

“It just hit me,” he would say a few minutes later, confetti falling all around him, a young boy’s dream officially springing to life in bright, vivid color and deafening resolution. “Good Lord. Wow.” 

Draft Prediction:

Stetson Fleming Bennett IV will never again have to pay for a meal, for a beer, for a bottle of wine anywhere within the state borders. This one will be forever. This one will be eternal. The Bulldogs looked like they were about to lose another big game to the Crimson Tide, and Bennett was a big reason why. 

That was the darkest moment. That’s when the Georgia faction of sold-out Lucas Oil Stadium began to wonder if maybe they weren’t destined to spend one more season followed by a dark cloud. The Bulldogs clung to a 13-12 lead, early in the fourth, the game a throwback rock fight between the SEC’s two most glamorous programs.

Morgan, the former Brantley County recreation director, just finished calling a youth flag football game on a humid September evening at Caney Bay Stadium, one of many football cathedrals sequestered in South Georgia.

Bennett, a second-grader, posted another seven-or-so touchdown exhibition for the Brantley Bandits, who were coached by his father, Stetson Bennett III.

“And you can put it on the booooard, yes!” Morgan wore out his voice with his signature touchdown catchphrase. He rushed down to speak with the Bennett duo after the game, sharing a proclamation he’d made to friends.
