Québécois running back makes his mark in American high school football history

The outstanding performance of québécois ball carrier David Gabriel Georges has been echoed across the US.

The productive offensive player, based in Tennessee and star of the Baylor School program in Chattanooga, has been crowned MaxPreps National Player of the Year for the 2024-2025 season. At just 17 years of age, he joins a prestigious circle of former honorees turned college and professional stars.

This distinction, one of the most coveted in American high school football, marks an unprecedented milestone for a Quebec-born athlete.

Georges guided Baylor to a perfect 12-0 season, a feat the school hadn't achieved in over fifty years. His impact peaked in the Division II Class AAA state finals, where he racked up over 200 combined yards and scored two majors to lead the Red Raiders to the title.

His explosiveness, power, and field vision made him the offensive engine of a dominant team from start to finish.

At the end of the season, the young ball-carrier totaled 1,756 yards on the ground and 27 touchdowns, statistics worthy of the greatest American prospects. His performance enables him to join a very select group of non-finishing players who have already won this distinction, a testament to his potential that is still in full bloom.

A milestone for québécois athletes

The achievement of Terrebonne-born Georges also has symbolic significance north of the border. By becoming the first Canadian to receive this award, he opens up a new avenue for young québécois talent aspiring to make their mark in the American school system.

His success illustrates the progression of football in Quebec and highlights the quality of training and athlete development in the province. With one more year of high school football ahead of him, expectations will be high. But one thing is clear: David Gabriel Georges has already established himself as one of the country's most promising prospects.
