The Tennessee Volunteers have emerged as a primary suitor for David Gabriel Georges, a five‑star running back whose talent has drawn attention from programs across the nation. His decision will be closely watched as he narrows his options to three powerhouse programs.
The Home‑Town Appeal
Born in Canada but raised in the Volunteer State, Georges now stars for the Baylor Red Raiders in Chattanooga, where his blend of speed and vision has made him a marquee recruit for the 2027 class. Coaches praise his agility and football IQ, noting that he can break tackles and create big plays in open space.
On July 22, the 18‑year‑old will announce his college choice, narrowing his focus to the Tennessee Vols, the Ohio State Buckeyes, and the Ole Miss Rebels, each of which offers a distinct pathway for his athletic and academic ambitions.
Brandon "Slim" Leavell, a current Tennessee commit, recently reached out to Georges, urging him to stay home and highlighting the unique opportunities awaiting him in Knoxville, from state‑of‑the‑art facilities to a vibrant campus culture.
The decision will not only shape the Vols’ backfield but also ripple through the broader recruiting landscape, as other top prospects watch how the Volunteers’ pitch resonates with a player who could become a cornerstone of the program’s future.
