Early life
Gabriel Georges was born on June 27, 2008, in Quebec, Canada, and is of Haitian descent.[1][2] He grew up in Terrebonne and first played football at age five.[3] After initially playing as a linebacker, Gabriel Georges later changed his position to running back.[3] He first attended Armand-Corbeil High School in Terrebonne where he played as a freshman.[3]
Gabriel Georges moved to the U.S. for his second year and enrolled at Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a school that had become interested in him after his uncle sent the football coach a highlight film.[4] He had to learn English after moving to Tennessee, as at the time he only spoke French.[5] In his first year at Baylor, Gabriel Georges ran for 984 yards and 13 touchdowns in the regular season and helped the team to the DII-AA state championship, earning the DII-AA Mr. Football award.[6] The following year, Gabriel Georges helped Baylor to their first undefeated record in over 50 years along with the Division II-AAA state title, running for 1,756 yards and 27 touchdowns while averaging nearly 11 yards per attempt.[7] He was named the National Player of the Year by MaxPreps and was the first non-senior to receive the honor since JT Daniels in 2017, also being the first Canadian winner of the award.[8]
Gabriel Georges is a five-star recruit and one of the top prospects in the class of 2027.[9] He is ranked by 247Sports as a top-10 recruit nationally and the number two running back.[10] On July 22, he ultimately chose the Tennessee Volunteers, out of a final three schools which included the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Ole Miss Rebels.[11]
