Sometimes in life, you get the opportunity to write the final chapter in your book; for Stetson Bennett, he’s not done his. The Georgia quarterback announced on Wednesday night that he would be returning for one more season.

The fifth-year QB had the opportunity to end his collegiate career with a National Championship, but now he’s looking to add one more championship to his trophy case, returning for a sixth year.

Bennett made his announcement just over an hour after JT Daniels officially entered the transfer portal.

After leading the Bulldogs to a perfect regular season, he sought redemption in the playoffs, leading his team to a huge win over Michigan, which gave Georgia another opportunity at Alabama. Coming off an average performance in Atlanta, Bennett threw for 224 yards and two touchdowns against the Tide last week in Indianapolis. He was awarded the offensive MVP and also held up the CFB Playoff trophy, breaking a 41-year drought for Georgia.

After turning the ball over against Alabama in the second half, Bennett drove his team down the field and took the lead, putting the final touches on an incredible season. After the game, Bennett had this to say about not having the game end with his turnover.
