David Gabriel Georges posts comments following Tennessee commitment

By admin — In News — July 24, 2026

   ​Five-star running back David Gabriel Georges has something to say after his high-profile recruitment that ultimately resulted in him choosing Tennessee over Ohio State. To say that it was a hotly debated and fiery recruiting process is probably not doing it justice, and Gabriel Georges would like things to be better for others in the same position in the future, it appears.There were some premature reports, rumors being reported as fact, and some pretty nasty comments made by fan bases throughout the process, and whether you like it or not, the words Gabriel Georges posted on his X account Thursday might be worth considering. Here’s what he had to say in his post on social media:”First and foremost, I give all glory to God for His countless blessings and for faithfully guiding me throughout this journey. Without Him, I wouldn’t be where I am today, wrote Gabriel Georges.”I also want to express my sincere gratitude to my family, friends, coaches, teammates, mentors, and everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way. Your belief in me, your guidance, and your unwavering support have meant more than words can express, and I will always be grateful.”I also feel it is important to address something. What should have been one of the most meaningful and joyful moment of my life has, at times, been overshadowed by negative media coverage, false narratives, and unfair assumptions about both my character and my family. I understand the passion, excitement, and pride that college football inspires, and I have great respect for every fan base and every program involved in this process. However, any form of harassment, and the spread of misinformation is simply unnecessary and uncalled for.”This decision was mine and was made through careful thought, prayer, and countless conversations with those I trust most. I respectfully ask that my decision be honored and that people refrain from making assumptions or spreading false information.”As I move forward, my focus remains on finishing the school year strong, continuing to grow as a student, a football player, and most importantly as a person. I am incredibly excited for the opportunities that lie ahead and look forward to embracing every challenge with humility, gratitude, and a relentless commitment to becoming the best version of myself.”To everyone who has stood by me throughout this journey, thank you. Your encouragement has meant the world to me. I can’t wait to begin this next chapter, represent my new program with pride, and continue chasing my dreams. The future is bright, and I am excited for everything that is still to come.Look, all fanbases have their passionate fans on both ends of the spectrum, and there’s no place for negativity, name-calling, and harassment. These are college kids, and there are far more important things than getting so bent out of shape that some of the worst in people show up. We at Buckeyes Wire wish Gabriel Georges nothing but the best and will be rooting for hi
