Tennessee football recruiting: 5-star in-state QB George MacIntyre picks Vols over Alabama

George MacIntyre, a five-star quarterback who plays at Brentwood (Tenn.) Academy, committed to Tennessee on Monday morning.

MacIntyre is ranked No. 15 overall and the No. 3 quarterback in the Class of 2025 in the 247Sports Composite. He chose Tennessee over Alabama.

Eight of the top 10 quarterbacks — including all three five-stars — in the Class of 2025 have already issued a commitment.

MacIntyre is the nephew of FIU coach Mike MacIntyre and the grandson of former Vanderbilt coach George MacIntyre.

What does it mean for Tennessee?

Beyond what it could eventually mean on the field for the Vols, it’s always nice to have a heralded quarterback serving as another recruiter for months before the summer camp season hits. The Vols had five commitments before MacIntyre decided, led by four-star Texas tight end Jack VanDorselaer.

MacIntyre could help sway other prospects, and he represents another win in Nashville, which continues to improve as a source of high-level talent. Coach Josh Heupel signed a total of eight mid-state recruits in the 2023 and 2024 classes. — Joe Rexrode, Tennessee senior writer
