Although Bennett led the Georgia Bulldogs to a national championship appearance in 2021 and won the chip in 2022, and 2023, he was not a highly-touted recruit and did not have the same level of national recognition as some of his counterparts.
Despite the adversity, Bennett worked his tails off to be a better player and marketable. This has now led to Bennett having 5 major endorsement deals from various companies.

However, building his fortune took Stetson down a lot of difficult paths.
Despite completing three touchdown touchdowns and two interception throws against the Alabama Crimson Tide on December 4, 2021, Bennett lost the SEC Championship Game 41-24. Due to the criticism he received after the loss, many people believed that JT Daniels should start the Orange Bowl matchup versus Michigan.
In 2022 and 2023, Stetson took his game to another level and led the team to two Nationals championships. This tied him with A.J. McCarron as the only two quarterbacks to win consecutive championships.
