Can Stetson Bennett still play for Georgia in the 2023 NCAA Football championship event?

The Georgia Bulldogs clinched their second consecutive national championship two days ago (January 9), thanks to a monster performance from Stetson Bennett.

The quarterback recorded six TDs in the 65-7 College Football Playoff National Championship win against the TCU Horned Frogs to bring his college record to a staggering 29-3 as a starting quarterback with consecutive championships, leaving the field late in the game to rapturous applause from supporters.

Stetson Bennett has now completed one of the most decorated college careers in recent memory, but we won't see more of him in college football. Bennett no longer has any college eligibility remaining, meaning he has professional opportunities awaiting him if NFL teams show interest.

The NCAA allows participants five years to play in four seasons of sports competitions, with the fifth year serving as a redshirt year. A redshirt year allows players to miss a year of participation (due to an injury or battle for regular game time) while still being able to participate in all four years of sporting competition.

With two national championships and offensive MVP awards from four College Football Playoff matchups over the previous two seasons, Stetson Bennett has completed a six-year career in college.
