Quebec native David Gabriel Georges got off to a spectacular start in the new high school football season in the United States.
The
18-year-old
running back
played a key role in Baylor
School's 38-20
victory over Brentwood Academy
on Thursday.
The former Armand-Corbeil High School player from Terrebonne delivered a remarkable offensive performance. He racked up 172 rushing yards
, added 78 receiving yards
, and crossed the goal line three times in the fourth quarter.
Baylor was leading only 17-13 after three quarters when Georges began his offensive showcase. He first scored a touchdown on an eight-yard run, extending his team's lead to 24-13.
Brentwood Academy then cut the lead with a spectacular 80-yard run, but the Quebec native quickly responded. A three-yard run allowed him to score his second touchdown and
restore a comfortable lead for Baylor. Late in the game, he capped off his impressive performance with a third touchdown, this time on a seven-yard run.
A Highly Anticipated Quebec Prospect
Even before reaching the end zone, Georges had already demonstrated his explosive speed. In the opening minutes, he broke free from a leg tackle and, after losing his balance, managed to regain his footing by planting a hand on the ground before continuing his run for eight yards.
Expectations are particularly high for the young Quebec native, who is entering his third season with Baylor. In 12 games last year, he racked up no fewer than 1,756 yards and 27 touchdowns, cementing his status as a dominant player.
His talent has also drawn attention at the collegiate level. Georges has already committed to the University of Tennessee for next season and ranks among the top prospects coming out of U.S. high school football, ranked 14th nationally.
This game also held special significance as it was a rematch of last year's championship game. Baylor had won that close contest, 28–24. This time, Georges and his teammates dictated the pace with a much more convincing victory.
