- David Gabriel Georges committed to Tennessee on Wednesday during a CBS Sports HQ ceremony, choosing the Vols over Ole Miss and Ohio State.
- Georges ranks as the No. 10 overall prospect and the No. 2 running back in the 2027 cycle, making him the top-rated player in Tennessee's class and its 18th verbal commit.
- Baylor School's star running back rushed for 1,749 yards and 27 touchdowns last season and is originally from Canada, holding more than 30 scholarship offers.
- Josh Heupel's 2027 class gains an expected immediate-impact back, with DeSean Bishop likely departing for the NFL after this season, opening the feature role.
- 247Sports' Andrew Ivins graded Georges higher than Michigan summer standout Savion Hiter and compared his run style to former Ole Miss star Quinshon Judkins, calling him a potential centerpiece of a national title-winning offense.
- Scouting evaluations highlight Georges' pass-protection willingness and receiving versatility out of the backfield, framing him as a three-down back with future NFL traits.
Why it matters: Tennessee lands the No. 2 running back in the 2027 cycle to replace an NFL-bound DeSean Bishop, giving Josh Heupel a centerpiece recruit whose 247Sports scouting grade outranks fellow five-star Savion Hiter — an immediate-impact infusion for a national title-caliber offense.
