There will not be another Stetson Bennett.

The former Georgia quarterback carried himself in a unique way. His leadership style obviously worked, as Bennett helped lead the Bulldogs to two national championships.

Now Bennett is gone. The favorite to succeed him, Carson Beck, is beginning to develop a leadership style of his own.

"Carson is a very even-keeled individual," head coach Kirby Smart said. "He’s been that way ever since we recruited him, all the way back in his 11th-grade year. He’s not a highs-and-lows, not a real emotional guy. He’s not a real fiery guy. He’s very laid back."

Beck has the most experience of any quarterback on Georgia's roster. He has appeared in games as a backup the past two seasons and has banked countless practice reps on top of that.

"He understands his job," Smart said. "He’s very intelligent. Every leader has their own way. He certainly commands the room. I think the players around him understand how bright he is, and they trust him. Carson’s had a lot of reps and a lot of work, which hasn’t all been game reps. He’s had a huge mass of reps against a good defense, against a really good defense in ours."

Beck's teammates are getting to know him more as a leader as well.

Receiver Arian Smith agreed that Beck is laid back off the field. On the field, though, is a different story.

"I feel like he’s more deep, more into it, more vocal," Smith said. "He’s going to tell me, ask me a question of how I like something. I feel like he’s more vocal on the field."

Fellow receiver Ladd McConkey noted that Beck has a "swagger" about him. He feels that's key for any quarterback to be successful, and he sees that trait in Beck, Brock Vandagriff, and Gunner Stockton.

Beck is a player who has appeared to struggle with confidence at times in his career. But McConkey sees it in him now.

If Beck wants to follow in Bennett's footsteps and lead the Bulldogs to a championship, that confidence is going to be key.

"He’s confident in himself. That’s the biggest thing. When he gets his confidence and he gets rolling, no one’s stopping him," McConkey said.
