College football’s top quarterback prospects for the 2025 signing cycle are already making their decisions.

Tennessee got its top target Monday.

George MacIntyre, the five-star talent out of Brentwood Academy, committed to Josh Heupel’s Volunteers at a ceremony at the private school located in the Nashville suburb of Brentwood. The 6-foot-5, 182-pounder picked the Vols over Alabama, and his choice was not considered a surprise after MacIntyre was spotted Saturday afternoon sitting next to Heupel inside the Food City Center for Tennessee’s 91-71 basketball victory over the Crimson Tide.

“We all have passions, and mine just happens to be playing football,” MacIntyre said at the ceremony. “I love this state, the fan base and the coaches, and I’ll be staying here at the University of Tennessee. Go Vols.”

MacIntyre is the nation’s No. 3 quarterback recruit for the 2025 class, according to the 247Sports.com composite rankings, trailing only Bryce Underwood of Belleville, Michigan, and Julian Lewis of Carrollton, Georgia. Underwood committed to LSU on Jan. 6, while Lewis has been committed to Southern California since August.
