After a tame first half for his standards, 5-star Tennessee football commit David Gabriel Georges took over in the second half of Baylor's TSSAA football season opener.
Georges scored three touchdowns in the second half and totaled 250 total yards in the Red Raiders' 38-20 victory over Brentwood Academy on Aug. 20 in Chattanooga.
According to the ESPN broadcast, Georges compiled 172 rushing yards and 78 receiving yards in the first game of his senior season.
DGG showed his customary balance throughout the game, starting with an early first-quarter run where he left his feet after making contact with a Brentwood Academy defender but continued on for an 8-yard carry.

— SportsCenter NEXT (@SCNext) August 21, 2026For some high-profile running backs, speed and shiftiness are elite traits that set them apart from others.
For Georges, it's his balance and physicality.
Even in this touchdown run, Georges showed off physical running style. A pair of arm tackles ended up as futile efforts on Georges' 8-yard touchdown run.
