Gavin Nuckolls brings efficient, low-drama QB upside to Georgia State
In the 2026 season, freshman quarterback Gavin Nuckolls has opened with a clean, efficient start for Georgia State, completing 3 of 3 passes for 20 yards in his debut while posting a 156.0 passer rating.[2][3] The real draw is the profile: a three-year high school starter who produced 6,700 passing yards, nearly 1,800 rushing yards, and 98 total touchdowns, showing dual-threat juice and steady command.[4] He’s compact at 5'11", 170, so the fit is about quick processing, mobility, and toughness more than pure size.[2][12]
