If former USC coach Will Muschamp does indeed go to work at Georgia, and stays there long enough for the 2022 season to roll in. he’ll be able to greet a familiar face. The quarterback who was expected to be the savior of Muschamp’s Gamecock program, five-star Gunner Stockton of Tiger, GA, announced a commitment to Georgia Thursday morning apparently choosing the Bulldogs over USC and Auburn. Stockton, who is considered the top dual-threat quarterback in the 2022 class, committed to Muschamp and then offensive coordinator Mike Bobo last August. When Muschamp was fired in mid-November, that set the wheels in motion for Stockton to rethink his plans, because that ultimately led to Bobo leaving for Auburn. Stockton has had a long standing relationship with Bobo and his father. But, he also admired former Gamecock coach Connor Shaw and is coached by his brother Jaybo. Stockton decommitted from the Gamecocks January 12th, five days after Bobo left for Auburn. In his career, Stockton has passed for 9518 yards, 122 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. He’s also rushed for 3416 yards and 62 touchdowns.
Four-star WR Jordan Mosley (6-0 190) of Mobile, AL was a long-time USC target dating back to the Will Muschamp era. Even after he committed to Tennessee in June of 2019, the Gamecocks stayed after him and offered in March of 2020. After the change in head coaches at USC, Shane Beamer continued to make contact with Mosley who decommitted from Tennessee January 18th. But apparently that interest from Beamer and the Gamecocks has cooled. Mosley said Wednesday night he’s not talked to Beamer in over a week, and he’s never talked to new receivers coach Justin Stepp. Thus, Mosley said he has moved on to other schools which continue to recruit him with the National Signing Day approaching Wednesday. “I’d say I’ve kind of moved on a little bit due to lack of interest.” Mosley said now he’s most focused on Tennessee, with the new head coach, Northwestern, Indiana and Penn State. “I feel like I’m kind of close on a decision but I’m waiting to see how everything plays out.” Mosley also has offers from Coastal Carolina, Memphis and UCF. The Gamecocks have four receivers in their 2021 class including a pair of transfers.
