Breaking News: Five-Star LSU QB Target Reveals College Decision
The second-ranked quarterback in the nation has announced his commitment to the University of Tennessee, choosing the Volunteers over LSU and Alabama. LSU had previously secured the commitment of five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood in early January, but another player, George MacIntyre, was also on their radar.
MacIntyre, a five-star prospect from Tennessee, had been a target for LSU, with quarterback Joe Sloan actively pursuing him. However, with the commitment of Underwood, LSU’s pursuit of MacIntyre came to an end. MacIntyre ultimately revealed his commitment to the Tennessee Volunteers, choosing them over LSU and Alabama.
Initially considering LSU, Alabama, and Tennessee as his final three schools, MacIntyre’s decision means he will stay close to home and play for the Volunteers.

LSU, having secured the commitment of Underwood, a five-star quarterback and the top player in the 2025 class, is now focusing on maintaining their momentum. The LSU football staff, including Joe Sloan and Frank Wilson, recently visited Underwood in Michigan to solidify their connection.
Underwood’s commitment is seen as a significant victory in recruiting for LSU, placing them in elite status for the 2025 cycle alongside other top prospects like Harlem Berry (No. 1 RB in America) and Dakorien Moore (No. 1 WR in America).
The commitment of Underwood, Berry, and Moore is expected to have a lasting impact on LSU’s football program, marking a turning point in their recruiting efforts. Despite Underwood not signing until December, LSU has secured a verbal pledge from one of the most highly regarded recruits in history.
In addition to Underwood, LSU also secured a commitment from Harlem Berry, the No. 1 running back in America. Berry, a dynamic player from St. Martin’s Episcopal in Metairie (La.), is seen as another program-changing addition to LSU’s roster.
The success in recruiting is attributed to the efforts of coaches like Joe Sloan and Frank Wilson, who have worked diligently to attract top talent. With a star-studded 2025 recruiting class, LSU is positioned as the No. 1 class in the cycle, indicating a promising future for the program under the leadership of Coach Kelly and his staff in Baton Rouge.
