David Gabriel Georges officially narrowed his recruitment to Tennessee, Ohio State and Ole Miss, but most recruiting experts believe it to be a two-school battle between Tennessee and Ohio State.

Ohio State was reportedly trending early to land Gabriel Georges but Tennessee has surged late. Many now believe the Vols are the team to beat for the five-star back.

Chris Low of On3 reported that Tennessee has the largest NIL offer for David Gabriel Georges in the range of $2 million per year for three years. He also said that Ohio State’s offer is around $1 million annually.

According to Gabriel Georges’ uncle, Jean Agenor, NIL won’t be the only factor in the five-star’s decision.

“We understand there is an opportunity for him to get ahead in life because of NIL and the opportunities he’ll get, but that’s not the main thing,” Agenor told Low. “That’s never been the main thing. We played the long game to benefit him so he can basically maximize his earning potential but that was just a good business strategy. We want him to get that second NFL contract.”

David Gabriel Georges will reveal his commitment on July 22 at 5:30 p.m. ET. His announcement will be streamed on the CBS Sports College Football YouTube channel.
