Tennessee football head coach Josh Heupel has had no trouble recruiting elite quarterbacks to Knoxville. His 2025 class will include the No. 3 quarterback in the 2025 class according to 247Sports Composite — George MacIntyre.
MacIntyre announced his commitment to Tennessee football on Monday morning. He chose the Vols over Alabama and LSU.
The five-star ranks as the No. 15 prospect overall and the No. 1 prospect from Tennessee by 247Sports Composite. MacIntyre is out of Brentwood Academy in middle Tennessee. The 6-foot-5.5 and 182-pound quarterback spent the weekend with Tennessee’s staff, and watching the Vols’ basketball team defeat Alabama, before announcing his decision on Monday.
MacIntyre led Brentwood Academy to the 2022 state semifinals by throwing for 2,341 yards and 19 touchdowns. He ended his junior season in 2023 with 3,229 yards and 28 total touchdowns for Brentwood Academy. He holds 36 scholarship offers.
MacIntyre comes from a football family with his late grandfather being the former Vanderbilt head coach. His uncle is the current head coach at FIU.
The quarterback has also picked up some offers on the hardwood as well, showcasing his athleticism.
Among the three assumed finalists, Tennessee is the leader for MacIntyre going into his commitment.
LSU recently picked up a commitment from the No. 1 quarterback in the 2025 cycle, Bryce Underwood. That likely makes the Tigers a non-factor at this point in the cycle.
As for Alabama, Nick Saban’s retirement likely derails MacIntyre’s recruitment with the Crimson Tide. Although the new staff at Alabama extended MacIntyre a scholarship offer, his commitment date makes it unlikely he had time to form a relationship with the new staff at Alabama.
