Recruiting insider sticks with Ohio State as the choice for David Gabriel Georges
Steve Wiltfong of Rivals gave the latest update on the five-star running back from Tennessee, and it continues to sound good for Ohio State’s chances.“I’m still riding with my prediction in favor of Ohio State for Chattanooga (Tenn.) Baylor School five-star running back David Gabriel Georges,” Wiltfong wrote recently. “With the way the Buckeyes have developed and showcased running backs, to the consistency of the program, to the competitive NIL opportunities, Ohio State checks the most boxes and is the best fit.”
According to 247 Sports Composite, Gabriel Georges is the No. 10 overall player and No. 2 running back in the class of 2027. Carlos Locklyn has been recruiting the 6-foot, 215-pound Gabriel Georges since the Ohio State running backs coach was at Oregon. The relationship the two have is playing a key role in Ohio State’s chances.

Latest on Ohio State’s chase of David Gabriel Georges sounds great for the Buckeyes’ strong chances of landing the elite running back recruit
Ohio State is after David Gabriel Georges like no other recruit in the class of 2027. One move they’ve made shows just how bad the Buckeyes want him.
It was the official visit weekend for Baylor School (TN) five-star RB David Gabriel Georges. The elite running back recruit was Ohio State’s most important recruit on campus; the Buckeyes have identified Gabriel Georges as their biggest target during the 2027 cycle.
Coming off of the first of four official visits Gabriel Georges is set to make, it’s sounding good for the Buckeyes chances of landing him.
Ohio State is going all-in to land David Gabriel Georges
Ohio State running backs coach Carlos Locklyn has been recruiting Gabriel Georges since he was at Oregon. The relationship is huge for Ohio State’s chances. Still, NIL is going to be a major part of it, and the Buckeyes are said to be stepping up in that department.According to Lettermen Row’s Alex Gleitman, the Buckeyes are going away from their normal NIL practices with the running back position.
“One thing to note, when I asked about NIL, I was told Ohio State is all-in on this one,” Gleitman wrote. “The Buckeyes usually don’t do that for backs, but they feel DGG is special, maybe generational to some extent. If they lose out, I wouldn’t expect it to be for NIL.”

How good is this Ohio State 5-star running back target? ‘I’ve never seen anything like it’
Baylor School coach Erik Kimrey talked recently about his superstar running back with cleveland.com, and just what makes him special. Here’s what he said in a Q&A:
Gillis: What’s David’s recruitment been like in the last few weeks?
Kimrey: “Actually, in some ways, it’s kind of settling down because after he released his four official visits, I think some of the other schools have gotten the picture and so there’s not as many schools that are coming by. But there’s definitely been a strong presence with the ones that are still in the game.”
Gillis: How has David handled the entire recruiting process as a whole?
Kimery: “David doesn’t really enjoy the recruiting process a whole lot,” he said with a laugh. “Some guys eat it up, and he honestly already handles himself like a professional. And really the interactions he’s having with coaches and stuff like that, really it’s more about what is his development going to be like. ‘Let’s talk strategy.’ He’ll have coaches get on the board with them that talk about how they teach the inside zone or duo or whatever. So, he’s very much all ball and I think he’s got such a great family unit around him. He’s able to just trust them with all the rest of the details. And I think that’s really suited him well.”
Gillis: How has his adjustment been to life in the United States? (Gabriel-Georges is from Quebec)
Kimrey: “He’s a super hard-working guy in the classroom, too. Can you imagine taking Spanish from someone that’s speaking in a different language? The work ethic that he has, and the pride he takes in everything he does, including his academic work, is just very impressive.”
Gillis: What impresses you most about his game?
Kimrey: “It’s easy to look at his physical attributes, and I think that’s something that any average fan can turn on his highlight tapes and see. I think what people don’t see is the work ethic that he has behind the scenes, whether it’s taking care of his body — I mean, the kid doesn’t eat sugar. He treats his body truly like a temple.”
Gillis: When did you realize that he was bound to be special?
Kimrey: “The second play I watched on his freshman tape. And then a fun story, when he came here, he visited the year before, but then when he came and we put on pads for the first day and we were running an inside drill. We had a linebacker named Joel Lowenberg, who’s at Wake Forest now, and he kind of came through on the inside zone untouched, and he hit David and just slid off of him like he hit a brick wall.
“And David, of course, houses it from there. And Joel stood up and kind of shook his head and said, ‘Well, that was different.’ And so we knew right away we had something super special and it’s been nothing but a joy for us to coach.”
Gillis: How rare is his skillset, both physically and mentally?
Kimrey: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I coached in the SEC for a couple of years too. I’ve never seen anyone that has the complete toolbox that David has. I mean, he’s 215 to 220 pounds, based on the day. He ran a 4.38 laser (40-yard dash) a couple weeks ago... Benches like 400 pounds. Squats like 600. I mean, the guy’s just a freak show. He’s got so many physical gifts. I think what separates him really is his mind and his approach to the game. He’s intensely competitive, he’s hard on himself and he just wants to continue to get better... So yeah, he’s a coach’s dream.”
Gillis: What’s his mentality like as a player?
Kimrey: “I think it’s a little bit of everything. I mean, I do think down deep, he’s a bit of a perfectionist and he realizes that this is his craft. But that’s what’s so delightful to see, is a guy that’s had the success that he’s already had and the attention that he’s getting, just fully committed to just maximizing his God-given ability. And that’s what’s so scary about him is like, how good is he going to be in two years? In five years? I have no idea, but I know it’s going to be fun to watch.”
Gillis: What’s his ceiling look like?
Kimrey: “I have no idea. I’ve never seen anything like him. I mean, he’s clearly what we call a ‘Sunday guy.’ So hopefully with good luck and God’s blessing, he stays healthy. I mean, this guy can play in the NFL for a long time.”
Gillis: How many players have you seen like this?
Kimrey: “I think after some time you develop a bit of that eye. I coached (former Oregon defensive end) Jordan Burch at Hammond School, and Jordan was drafted in the third round by the Cardinals. You knew after two practices that he was going to play on Sunday, but he was also 6-foot-6, 250 (pounds) as a 16-year-old and playing point guard on the basketball team.
“Of course, then coaching in the SEC just a few years ago, being around the guys that just have that extra ability that separating themselves on a SEC or a Big Ten field, those guys have those qualities. I think David, he almost already has those things. I think he could start anywhere in the country this year as a college running back.”
Gillis: How much has Ohio State been around, and what has that relationship been like?
Kimrey: “They’ve been great... Carlos (Locklyn) was David’s first offer when Carlos was out of Oregon. And I actually sent him the film and I said, ‘Hey, buddy, you need to check this out.’ And so they’ve had a relationship for a long time, but I think that they’ve done a wonderful job developing the relationship with David. At the end of the day, we love David. He’s going to be a Baylor Red Raider for the rest of his life. I don’t care where he goes to school. I just want him to have a great career.”
