From UGA's camp:
Fromm is obviously entrenched as the starter....but if he goes down they are in trouble.
True freshman D'wan Mathis is till working his way back after the summer surgery for a brain cyst and has not participated much....leaving 6' 185lb Stetson Bennett, a 2-star JUCO transfer (and former walk-on at UGA) as the top back-up. Behind him is walk-on Nathan Priestley from Los Angeles .
Bennett was a preferred walk-on at UGA and left after the 2017 season. He played JUCO last year.
"The 6-foot, 185-pounder can apply a redshirt year to his 2017 season at Georgia. He originally came to UGA in the 2017 class. So that will leave him with three seasons to play three years for the Bulldogs.
Bennett finished the 2018 season at Jones leading the program to a 10-2 record. He completed 145 of his 259 passes for 1840 yards with 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. That was good for a 56 percent completion rate.
His strengths are his accuracy, timing and mobility. Bennett was rated as a 2-star recruit coming out of high school. He passed up a few scholarship opportunities in order to walk-on to play for the Bulldogs."
