Stetson Bennett is old school. In the age of FaceTiming, sending emails and Snapping friends from a smartphone, The Mailman carries a flip phone.

The Georgia quarterback was asked about his choice in technology during a Saturday media availability in Indianapolis ahead of the National Championship game. Bennett explained that his decision to technologically “downgrade” was to help him stay more focused on football and school.

“They actually still sell them at Verizon stores,” Bennett said. “Apparently, a lot of old people still use them. I guess it was June or July, I went — I had a bunch of school coming up the next semester, I had football, I was, like, I spend, whatever, an hour on my smartphone a day doing what? Doing nothing, nothing that’s going to help me. I don’t even remember what I just did.

“I’ve thought about it before. I’ve thought about it for years. And I was like, well, I’ve got all this stuff to do, all this important stuff. Let’s try not to let anything get in the way of that focus and just go get a flip phone.

“I still have a laptop and a tablet for e-mail and anything important like that that I can use. And I will just use my cell phone for texting and calls. One pain in the butt is I have to carry a notepad to write down stuff because I used my Notes app on my iPhone a lot back in the day a lot. But strictly just to help me out with time management and wasting time.”

Considering his success this fall, Bennett might start a trend among college football quarterbacks.
