Tennessee secured top high school running back David Gabriel Georges with a record NIL deal, making him a millionaire upon signing. The offer was so substantial that Ohio State chose not to match it, despite having interest in the highly touted recruit.
Georges' decision marks a significant moment in college athletics, highlighting the growing influence of name, image, and likeness compensation in recruiting. The deal positions Tennessee as a major player in leveraging NIL opportunities to attract elite talent.
