Tennessee football recruiting: In-state 5-star quarterback George MacIntyre prefers Vols over Alabama – The Athletic

MacIntyre is the No. 15 overall prospect and 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 committed.

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