George MacIntyre, the quarterback for Brentwood Academy, is currently debating between Alabama and Tennessee for college, and despite the Crimson Tide’s recent coaching change, they aren’t given up on the gifted passer. After famous coach Nick Saban, with whom MacIntyre had been close, just departed, new head coach Kalen DeBoer extended an opportunity to MacIntyre.
Josh Newberg of On3 had projected that MacIntyre would sign with Tennessee after Saban’s statement. His recruiting grade point average has also shifted dramatically; as of Tuesday, Tennessee had less than a 10% probability of signing the five-star, but that number has now increased to a 75.1% chance of doing so.Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports also projected that the multi-sport player would sign with Tennessee.
The Volunteers made an offer to the gifted quarterback in 2022. In his early career, he has also visited Tennessee nearly ten times. He is a very talented quarterback that rates highly in the 2025 class; according to 247Sports, he is ranked second among all quarterbacks and ninth in the country. The Volunteers’ recruiting class of 2025 has limitless possibilities if they can secure MacIntyre.
By certain criteria, Tennessee had a poor season. Even so, they concluded the season with a 9-4 record and a commanding victory in the Cheez-It Citrous Bowl over the 17th-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes. The Vols were still a popular issue even though rookie quarterback Nico Iamaleava attracted a lot of attention to the team during the bowl game, according to Front Office Sports.
Josh Heupel, the head coach of Tennessee, keeps drawing attention to the Vols across the country. In Knoxville, Tennessee, they have persisted in building a robust culture and are approaching a critical two-year period. They have laid the groundwork, groomed some of the players on the coaching staff, and done a great job recruiting. Tennessee is aiming to qualify for the College Football Playoff for the first time since it was founded, as the competition will have twelve teams subsequent to its inception.
In the 2023 class, Iamaleava was ranked third by 247Sports’ Composite Rankings. Given his skill set—he weighs 205 pounds and is 6 feet 6 inches tall with a tonne of live arm talent—he will garner a lot of national attention.
