Coming out of high school, Spencer Rattler and Stetson Bennett could not have been more different as prospects. Rattler was the No. 1 ranked quarterback in the 2019 cycle, a can’t-miss prospect who was featured on Netflix’s QB1: Beyond The Lights.

Bennett’s story is well-chronicled by this point. He came to Georgia as a walk-on from Pierce County High School. He did not have a recruiting ranking as a member of the 2017 cycle.

Both will start at quarterback for their respective teams on Saturday. Both left the schools they originally went to. They also understand what it is like to be benched, multiple times in fact.

Most importantly though, they both know how to overcome said benching and become starting quarterbacks at SEC programs.

Rattler was benched in each of Oklahoma’s last two games against Texas. He regained the starting job in 2020, only for Caleb Williams to keep the job in 2021. He ended up transferring to South Carolina, even after Lincoln Riley had up and left the Sooners for USC.
