Stetson Bennett wouldn’t allow himself to bask so long in the celebration following last season’s national championship that it would be more difficult to make a run at a repeat title this year.
Bennett, who began his career at Georgia as a walk-on, has had many critics and coaches — even on his own team — tell him what he can’t do. He refused to be distracted by the praise that came with his lead role on the Bulldogs’ first national championship since 1980 last season. from a shot at the school’s first back-to-back titles. The Bulldogs will play No. 4 Ohio State in the College Football Playoff semifinal in Saturday night’s Peach Bowl.
Bennett, all of 5-feet-11 and 190 pounds, knew he couldn’t afford to stop working. There are too many four- and five-star quarterbacks waiting for an opportunity — on the Georgia depth chart or in the transfer portal. Bennett walked on at Georgia in 2017, transferred to Jones College in Ellisville, Mississippi, in 2018 and then returned to Georgia more determined than ever, even if it meant working on the scout team.
Georgia center Sedrick Van Pran says Bennett’s success on the game’s biggest stages is easy to understand.
