Five-star running back David Gabriel Georges, the No. 10 overall player in the 2027 recruiting class, is ready to drop his college commitment on Wednesday. This dude, who’s also ranked as the second-best running back in his class, will pick between college football giants Ohio State, Ole Miss, and his home-state Tennessee. The stakes are massive here, with one of the nation’s elite talents making a call that could reshape a program.
The Monster Talent Everyone Wants
Georges isn’t just another recruit; he’s the real deal, the top-rated in-state player for Tennessee who absolutely tore it up last season. Playing for Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, this guy shredded defenses for an insane 1,749 yards and 27 touchdowns. He’s already racked up more than 30 scholarship offers, so you know every major program has been salivating over him. Originally from Canada, which is wild, he’s been on official visits to all three finalists, getting a feel for where he wants to unleash his game-wrecking style.
His visit schedule tells a story too. He spent a weekend at Tennessee last month, even linking up with former Vols superstar Alvin Kamara, plus current Tennessee freshman cornerback Jamyan Theodore and offensive lineman Gabriel Osenda. Georges actually played with both Theodore and Osenda last season, so there’s that familiarity. Ohio State got him in May, and Ole Miss snagged his most recent official visit during the weekend of June 12. Talk about a whirlwind finish to a high-stakes recruitment!
“True Game-Wrecker” With a Violent Edge
So, what makes Georges such a must-get player? His film screams “game-wrecker,” plain and simple. 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins didn’t mince words, saying Georges has “everything it takes to be the centerpiece of a national title-winning offense.” Think about that for a second. Ivins even went further, calling him a “physical freak that’s extremely hard to get on the ground,” praising his ability to deliver in key moments against stacked boxes throughout his prep career. Ivins says they don’t stamp running backs as five-star prospects unless they truly believe they are game-wreckers, and Georges absolutely fits that. His vision, contact balance, and patience are off the charts. He lets blocks develop, accelerates through traffic, and rarely goes down on first contact. Plus, he runs with a violent edge but still keeps that lateral quickness. Ivins even grades him higher than Savion Hiter, who’s already making noise at Michigan this summer. It’s clear: this kid is a “one of one” talent.
