"As far as quarterback, it's just like every other position. Every day, you're fighting and trying to compete with the other guy. You think it's coach speak, but it's really not, in the spring, there is no depth chart. It's about getting reps, we got 4's getting reps this spring."

Gunner Stockton started the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame and competed at a high-level by all accounts. Though sacks created turnover opportunities for the Irish in the playoff loss for the Bulldogs.

Puglisi entered the Georgia program as a 4-star prospect. At 6'3, 210 pounds, Puglisi has immense arm talent and physical capabilities and they future appears bright for the former Massachusetts nattive.
