“COMMITTED GO DAWGS,” Stockton posted on Twitter.

Stockton, from Georgia’s Rabun County High School, originally committed to South Carolina. He reopened his recruiting after the Gamecocks hired head coach Shane Beamer to replace Will Muschamp. It has been reported that Muschamp will join Smart’s coaching staff in Athens.
