Five-Star RB David Gabriel Georges Keeps July 22 Decision Between Tennessee and Ohio State
His public denial that a choice was already made leaves both programs pressing their contrasting pitches and sets July 22 as the key moment that will decide a major 2027 recruiting prize.
Overview
- Georges remains publicly uncommitted and has scheduled a formal commitment for July 22, and he directly denied reports that he had already decided by tweeting, "I didn't say anything."
- Tennessee is selling him an immediate starting role, a chance to build a local legacy and aggressive name, image and likeness support to maximize his profile and earning potential.
- Ohio State is emphasizing program success, a clear NFL pipeline and an existing relationship with running backs coach Carlos Locklyn, who was the first coach to offer Georges.
- Georges received offers from Tennessee on July 31, 2024 and Ohio State on Aug. 1, 2024 and has made multiple unofficial visits plus official visits to both campuses in late May and early June 2026.
- A decision for Tennessee would be a major boost to a 2027 class ranked near No. 33 with no five-stars while a choice of Ohio State would add another high-level prospect to a top-10 class and reinforce its NFL development case.
