Gamecock Recruits: QB commit Gunner Stockton puts up 8 TDs against 6A program

Another game, another huge performance for Gunner Stockton.

The South Carolina Class of 2022 quarterback commit threw for six touchdowns and ran for two in helping Rabun County (Ga.), a Class 2A school, over 6A Pope, 63-17 on Friday night.

“It was pretty cool,” Stockton told the Atlanta Journal Constitution of playing against a 6A school. “We knew we wanted to come out and start fast and just play as a team.”

Stockton’s performance comes a week after he accounted for a school-record eight touchdowns last week against East Jackson.

On Friday, Stockton was 15-of-20 passing for 268 yards and carried it 11 times for 135 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown run.

Through six games this season, Stockton has thrown for more than 1,400 yards and rushed for 613 yards with 32 total touchdown passes.
