Four things we think after George MacIntyre's commitment to Tennessee football

The Volunteer State

Tennessee football has its quarterback of its present and of its future. His name is Nico Iamaleava. And now, Tennessee appears to have its next quarterback of the future. His name is George MacIntyre.

MacIntyre, a five-star prospect from Brentwood Academy, committed to Tennessee this week. He’s one of the nation’s best quarterback prospects and a top-15 recruit overall. He headlines Josh Heupel’s 2025 recruiting class.

“This isn't a decision: It's a calling,” MacIntyre said of his commitment.

On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams assess what MacIntyre’s commitment means for the Vols.

Their four key takeaways range from thoughts about Josh Heupel's recruiting chops to how this will affect Tennessee's future quarterback plans. Plus, they weigh in on Heupel's performance working the transfer portal this offseason.
