Where Tennessee Football’s 2027 Recruiting Class Ranks After Landing David Gabriel Georges

Tennessee football has officially landed its priority target in the 2027 recruiting class. The Vols got the news that they reeled in the commitment of five-star running back David Gabriel Georges from Baylor School in Chattanooga on Wednesday.

The addition of Gabriel Georges, the first five-star commit for UT in the class, catapulted Tennessee up the recruiting boards. Now, the Vols sit inside the top-25 nationally and top-10 in the SEC after a somewhat slow start to the cycle.

Here’s where Tennessee stands as a team and as individual commits so far.
