Alabama and Georgia are back in Atlanta for the fifth time for the SEC Championship showdown. And once again, it’s a battle of two standout junior quarterbacks. Their first meeting this season, on September 28, was a nail-biter. Alabama edged out a 24–21 win, thanks in large part to QB Ty Simpson. He completed 63% of his passes for 276 yards, threw two touchdowns, and even added another on the ground.

Georgia’s QB, Gunner Stockton, actually had a slightly better completion rate that night with 65% for 130 yards and a touchdown. What makes this rematch even more fun is that both quarterbacks finally stepped into full-time starting roles this season. So when they square off again, expect the stakes and the spotlight to be even bigger.

Gunner Stockton’s estimated NIL value is about $823,000, according to On3. He’s already landed deals with brands like HEYDUDE Shoes, CAVA, Onward Reserve, Whataburger, Dr Pepper, eBay, and a few others, such as The Dairy Alliance and the Athens Area Humane Society.

Meanwhile, Ty Simpson is pulling in roughly $2.3 million in NIL value (as of December 4, 2025). He’s locked in big deals with Gatorade, Raising Cane’s, EA Sports, Facebook, Hugo Boss, Amazon Prime, Regions Bank, and even some local collectives like “Yea Alabama.”
