Gunner Stockton out of nowhere got to meet President Donald Trump on Thursday. Yes, you read that correctly, Georgia's starting quarterback got to meet the President of the United States.
President Trump flew to Georgia on Thursday, and upon his arrival he was welcomed to the state by Stockton. He was waiting for President Trump on the runway to greet him alonside Herschel Walker, but that wasn't the only moment the two shared.

Stockton has a lot to work on this offseason. He needs to become a much better quarterback if Georgia is going to accomplish all of their goals next season. That doesn't mean he isn't a great player already because he proved that all last year, but if Georgia is going to take the next step this fall Stockton will have to do his part.
But he is also allowed to have some fun this offseason, and when Stockton was invited to meet the President of the United States he couldn't turn that down.
It's clear that Stockton wasn't prepared to speak, but he held his own when President Trump gave him a chance to talk in front of all those cameras.
Stockton now will head back to campus to continue his preparations for the season ahead, but this will certainly be a moment that he will never forget.
