David Gabriel Georges to Reveal College Choice Wednesday

Top Recruit Set to Make Historic Announcement

Five‑star running back David Gabriel Georges will make his college commitment official on Wednesday afternoon. The 6‑foot, 205‑pound prospect from Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, carries a national ranking of No. 2 among 2027 backs and sits atop the list for prospects in his home state. He is currently weighing offers from Tennessee, Ohio State and Ole Miss.

Each program wasted little time in expressing interest, with Tennessee and Ole Miss extending scholarship offers on July 31, 2024, while Ohio State followed with its own offer the next day. This rapid response from Power‑Five schools underscores his elite status in the recruiting class. Georges’ decision will become a defining moment for the 2027 cycle.

Tennessee already boasts 17 signees for the upcoming class, including linebackers JP Peace and Kenneth Simon II, offensive linemen Princeton Uwaifo and Q’Mari Hudson, and skill players like quarterback Derrick Baker and defensive back Carter Jamison. Adding a top‑ranked running back would give the Vols a dynamic weapon and fill depth in the backfield. The commitment could also reinforce the Volunteers’ recruiting momentum heading into the final stretch.

Should Georges choose Tennessee, the program would secure its consensus No. 1 prospect in the state, boosting the overall recruiting ranking for the 2027 class. A decision in favor of Ohio State or Ole Miss would similarly provide those squads with a nationally recognized back to build their offense around. Regardless of the outcome, his announcement will reshape the competitive landscape for the top programs in the South.
