Tennessee football adds Canadian five-star recruit David Gabriel Georges for 2027
Summary

Tennessee football has secured a commitment from five-star running back David Gabriel Georges from Montreal for the 2027 class. Georges will join a roster that already includes four Canadian players, enhancing the team’s pipeline from Canada. The recruitment was influenced by a surge in Canadian athletes crossing the border to play high school football in the U.S. due to pandemic-related restrictions in Canada. The team has fostered connections with Canadian prospects, particularly through Baylor School in Chattanooga, where many current players have trained together.
