Georgia’s third-string QB — and main scout-team signal caller, is leaving the program and transferring to JUCO, according to Jeff Sentell of DawgNation.com.

Kirby Smart said Bennett was considering transfer options this past week, and it appears he will finish his football career elsewhere.

“He’s looking at some different options,” Smart said this past week. “Stetson has done a tremendous job for us. We’re really excited what he has done for us. We’re exhausting every option to try to keep Stetson with us. We think he’s a very talented young man. I’ve spoke on behalf of that multiple times. We hope we keep him here.”

Obviously, that didn’t work out like Smart had hoped.

Bennett was stuck behind Jake Fromm and Justin Fields on the depth chart, and it was unlikely he’d see any meaningful playing time. Bennett told Sentell that his goal is to play football, not merely be a depth chart guy.

It’s been well documented Bennett’s family’s ties to Georgia, and he’ll likely head to JUCO in Mississippi to get back on the field.
