Stetson Bennett opens up on what it means to have his little brother with him at Georgia

The story of Stetson Bennett is a special one, beginning his career as a walk-on quarterback. A few years later, he was lifting the College Football Playoff and winning a national championship with the Georgia Bulldogs. Now, he’s back in Athens, hoping to run it back with head coach Kirby Smart, and a special teammate.

A new walk-on is with the Georgia program, with Luke Henry Bennett, the brother of Stetson, making the roster this season. He is listed as a wide receiver but also played running back coming out of high school.

Stetson was asked what it meant to have his brother within the program, with the quarterback saying it’s special. The two had never been on a team together due to their age difference but will both suit up for the Bulldogs this season.

“Just seeing him every day in the locker room, going and grabbing bites to eat,” Bennett said. “Just the little stuff. It’s super cool because we’re never on the same team, never did that stuff. Pretty special. Super lucky.”

Bennet was then asked if he had any advice for his younger brother but was not willing to give up the secrets. He wanted to keep the moment between the two of them.

“A few things but I will keep that between us two,” Bennett said with a wink.

Stetson Bennett on how it feels to be the starting QB entering season

Bennett enters the 2022 season for Georgia as the unquestioned starter at quarterback, which is drastically different from his previous seasons with the team. Recently Bennett addressed the sensation of coming in as the starter and whether or not he will play with a chip on his shoulder this season.

“Yeah, it’s a little different. Every other year, it’s uncertainty, really. Last year pretty much lucked into going out there and playing, to an extent,” said Bennett. “This year, you get fall camp, you get to spring, now we’re here, game week. So it kind of came faster because you’re so busy in the day- practice and all that stuff, working on little things.

“Last year I wasn’t quite as in tune because not only wasn’t I the starter, I wasn’t the second-string guy. You get so caught up in the day-to-day and little things that you lose track of the overall; holy cow, it’s Oregon week now. So thankfully, I think we’ve handled it really well… probably a little more excited than I was this time last year.”
