Kamauri Whitfield, once Tennessee’s top defensive back target, flipped to Florida after decommitting amid coaching changes — beating out Nebraska and Oregon. Meanwhile, Tennessee rebounds with new DB commitments and eyes big names like German OL Niko Kampas and safety TaShawn Poole, while also trying to flip Brandon Allen Jr. It’s a wild recruiting chess match — and the Vols are still playing to win.

The Gators, meanwhile, made him feel like a top priority, sealing the deal in a classic recruiting twist that highlights how quickly commitments can shift in the SEC.

David Gabriel Georges, Tennessee’s top five-star running back and top recruit for 2026, is down to three schools—Ole Miss, Ohio State, and Tennessee—with just two weeks left before his decision. While the Vols are pushing hard, strength coach Derek Owings is reportedly working behind the scenes to sway him. With big NIL deals on the line, insiders say Georges may have already picked his destination—even if he won’t announce until July 22. For Tennessee, landing him is a top priority; losing him would be a major setback. The final decision hinges on whether he chooses to stay home and play on Rocky Top.
