Now, Rivers' journey looks a little different. This time, the Chargers legend is watching his own son, Gunner, carve out his own path.

According to On3 Sports, Rivers has received offers from Miami, North Carolina State, Boston College, and now two SEC schools.

Auburn and South Carolina have confirmed their interest in the second-generation start by offering scholarships.

While 2027 may seem far away at the moment, it won't be long before another Rivers is dominating at the college level.

The Alabama high school star already has an offer from the Tigers. However, one has to wonder if the Alabama Crimson Tide will also play a part in his process.
