The Ohio State football program continues to wait on David Gabriel Georges to make his collegiate decision. The five-star running back is the recruit whom Ohio State wants the most in this class. That has become clear based on the time and money they have spent on him.
Right now, Gabriel Georges has three schools on his final list. Besides the Buckeyes, he also has Tennessee and Ole Miss. However, the Rebels are pretty much out of this race. It has come down to the Vols and the Ohio State Buckeyes, and it has been like that for a while.
The Buckeyes feel great about their chances to land DDG, even if they aren't offering him the most NIL money. Now an insider has given an update on the latest in the battle between the Buckeyes and the Volunteers. It sounds like good news for Ryan Day and his staff.
Ohio State gets solid update on 5-star recruit David Gabriel Georges
Rivals insider Steve Wiltfong gave a positive update on Ohio State's chances of landing Gabriel Georges as the days dwindle on when he will make his commitment decision.
"But Ohio State, that's the program I think he grew up wanting to go to. He's been there four times. His best relationship is with Buckeyes running backs coach Carlos Locklyn. He was the first to offer him when he was at Oregon. I think him taking that job at Ohio State from Oregon shows David Gabriel Georges the magnitude of what Ohio State is when you stack it up against other programs in the country."
Wiltfong continued to give reasons why Gabriel Georges would want to suit up for the Buckeyes next season in Columbus.
"The way that they treat their starters and superstars long-term, they can point to that with the experience guys like Jeremiah Smith is currently having and how it's setting them up down the road. I've had a longstanding pick for Ohio State. I could easily see him at Tennessee. I just haven't been able to flip that pick because I think Ohio State still has a lot to say in this recruitment, and I think David Gabriel Georges could really see himself thriving at Ohio State."
Ohio State should feel confident about landing David Gabriel Georges
Based on all of the facts and the intel, there is no reason why the Buckeyes shouldn't feel very confident that he will be on the roster next season. If Gabriel Georges wasn't playing high school football in the state of Tennessee, this wouldn't even be a question.
Ohio State's ability to prepare players for the NFL is what sets them apart from almost every other team in the country. DDG has seen that, and he clearly sees that as a strong draw. It wouldn't be shocking if he picked the Vols, but it would certainly sting.
Day and his staff will have to wait until July 22 to learn where he wants to be. Until then, all they can do is stay in constant contact with him.
