David Gabriel Georges keeps stacking up nights that make Tennessee fans dream a little bigger.
The five-star running back, a Tennessee commit, delivered another eye-popping performance for Baylor School in Chattanooga, carrying the ball 26 times for 316 yards and five touchdowns as the Red Raiders beat Trinity (KY). That works out to more than 12 yards per carry, the kind of line that jumps off the page even before you get to the five trips to the end zone.
Georges also ripped off a 75-yard touchdown to put Baylor back on top, a play that added to the sense that he was simply overwhelming the defense. For a player already carrying massive expectations, it was another reminder of why Josh Heupel and Tennessee made him such a top priority.
The Vols won a two-team battle with Ohio State for his commitment, and an official visit to Knoxville helped push things over the finish line. There was also the reported three-year deal worth around $6 million, which only turned up the spotlight on the 6-0, 200-pound back.
With that kind of price tag, the pressure is obvious. So is the belief Tennessee has in him.
Looking ahead to next season, Georges could form a dangerous one-two punch with veteran running back DeSean Bishop, who is coming off a 1,000-yard season. Add in 5-star quarterback Faizon Brandon and lineman David Sanders Jr., who enters his junior campaign in 2027, and the possibilities start to look awfully real for Tennessee’s run game.
For now, though, Georges still has his senior season to finish. And if this latest explosion is any indication, he’s not interested in letting the noise slow him down. Ranked as the No. 2 running back in the 2027 class behind Georgia commit Kemon Spell, Georges keeps giving everyone the same message: the production is real, and the future in Knoxville could be every bit as explosive as advertised.

Tennessee Is Battling To Keep A Top In-State WR Close
The early pulse of Tennessees 2029 wide receiver board is already taking shape, and Maddox Porter is right in the middle of it. The Battle Ground Academy standout is among the more highly regarded in-state receivers in the class, and his recruitment has started to broaden beyond Knoxville, with Notre Dame, Georgia, Oregon, Ohio State and Alabama all in the mix as he weighs his options.
For Tennessee, the encouraging part is the relationship he has already built with coach Kelsey Pope, plus a planned game-day visit that should give the Vols another chance to make a strong impression. Porter has said he wants to have a commitment or at least a shorter list by the end of his junior year, so the next stretch of visits and evaluations could go a long way in deciding whether Tennessee can keep one of its top local priorities close to home.
