Several Georgia Bulldogs fans were curious about why Gunner Stockton was snubbed from the top-10 quarterback ratings from the EA Sports video game “College Football 27”. Now we know why. Stockton missed the opt-in deadline to enter the game, according to Team Crafters.

The game will release on all platforms on July 9, 2026, but MVP+ members will gain access on July 2. People who preorder the MVP Bundle and Deluxe Edition get it on July 6.

Stockton’s most recent rating was a 90 overall on CFB 26 after in the February 17, 2026, update. However, with his absence, Georgia‘s top-rated signal caller is Ryan Puglisi, with a 77 overall. There isn’t any explanation from EA Sports or Stockton on why Stockton didn’t meet the opt-in deadline.

Stockton isn’t the only marquee player from a Georgia school that didn’t opt in. Georgia Tech running back Justice Haynes didn’t opt in either, although Georgia Tech’s second-best running back is Malachi Hosley, rated at 81.

Stockton would’ve easily made the top-10 if he opted in. He threw for 2,894 yards, 24 touchdowns, and just five interceptions on 386 passing attempts last season. He also had a 150.6 passer rating and 7.5 yards per attempt.

There are several key contributors on defense for the Bulldogs, giving them the No. 4 defense in CFB 27. However, their offense isn’t in the top 10 because of this move. Hopefully, Gunner Stockton will end up in CFB 27. Otherwise, Georgia may not be as fun to play with.
