United States President Donald Trump recently showered praise on Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton, who is a huge Trump fan. On Thursday, Feb. 19, President Trump delivered a speech in the state of Georgia.
In his speech, the President actually invited Stockton to say a few words, as he gave the floor to the 21-year-old and former Bulldogs standout Herschel Walker while stepping aside. This occurred right after Trump gave a shout-out to Stockton for his support of the Trump administration’s initiatives, along with the bright future the quarterback has in football. Stockton will enter his senior year of collegiate football later this year.
“Gunner is a big star and a really talented quarterback. But I heard, much more importantly, he’s a Trump fan. So he was standing at the plane, and anybody that likes me, I like them. But, I hear he’s got a fantastic future. Gunner and Herschel will say a few words,” Trump said.
Stockton responded by saying:
“This is a great opportunity just to meet the president, Donald Trump. This is an awesome experience, and I’m just glad to be here.”
Trump praised Stockton, who has been supportive of the President for some time now, evidenced by the youngster’s political stance and previous social media posts. Nevertheless, Trump may have followed the 2025 college football campaign when Stockton and the rest of coach Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs finished with an overall record of 12-2 (7-1 SEC).
