Which schools are still in the hunt for David Gabriel Georges?
Georges has narrowed his recruitment to Ohio State, Ole Miss and Tennessee. He has taken official visits to all three finalists. Ohio State hosted him in May. Tennessee got a weekend visit last month, when he met former Vols star Alvin Kamara plus Baylor teammates Jamyan Theodore and Gabriel Osenda. Ole Miss hosted his most recent official visit during the weekend of June 12.
CBS Sports reports he has more than 30 scholarship offers. As Tennessee's top-rated in-state prospect and a five-star target, every program in the mix has something to gain—and lose—when he picks.
Why does this David Gabriel Georges decision matter so much?
Georges is listed among the class of 2027's elite: a five-star, No. 12 overall and the No. 2 running back nationally, plus the No. 1 prospect in Tennessee. As a junior he piled up 1,749 yards and 27 scores; as a sophomore he added 1,103 yards and 14 touchdowns.
247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins called him a true "game-wrecker," praising vision, contact balance and a violent running style that still keeps patience and lateral quickness. Ivins compared elements of his style to Quinshon Judkins and said Georges grades higher than Michigan's Savion Hiter. Pass protection and receiving versatility, Ivins noted, make him a potential instant-impact freshman with NFL traits.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press noted Georges recently swapped his dreadlocks for a fresh spiky cut—even briefly updating his Instagram to a Bart Simpson look—as he prepares for the next chapter. By evening, the recruiting world will finally know whether David Gabriel Georges is headed to Columbus, Oxford or Knoxville.
