Tennessee quarterback commitment from a five-star class George MacIntyre intends to return to Knoxville shortly, this time with a five-star Vols prospect.
George MacIntyre, a five-star quarterback commitment from Brentwood (Tenn.) Academy, is scheduled to visit the Vols in Knoxville this weekend for two days. During his visit, he will be get to witness their inaugural spring practice. One of Tennessee’s main targets as wide receiver, an outstanding player, is expected to join him.
MacIntyre said to GoVols247 that he will be spending Sunday and Monday in Tennessee. Five-star Class of 2025 wide receiver Jaime Ffrench, a former Alabama commitment from Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, Florida, will also be present, he said on his X account on Thursday afternoon.
This week, MacIntyre is back in Knoxville, she posted. “@jaimeffrenchjr, a special visitor, will also be present.”
This spring, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Ffrench plans to make his first trip to Tennessee. He revealed to Tom Loy of 247Sports last month that the Vols had him scheduled to play on April 8.
Ffrench recently returned from a trip to LSU. Following the tour, he informed Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports that he had “scheduled an official visit (to LSU) for the first weekend of May.”
Two projections for Ffrench on the 247Sports Crystal Ball have been given to Ohio State. Since last week, both predictions have been made; Tom Loy of 247Sports made the most recent one on Wednesday.
According to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, which ranks prospects 16 overall, 3 among wide receivers in the 2025 class, and 3 among juniors from Florida, Ffrench is a five-star prospect. He is a four-star prospect who is rated No. 30 overall and No. 4 wide receiver in the 2025 class by 247Sports.
Following the announcement of his decommitment from Alabama on January 14, following the retirement of former Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban, Ffrench has emerged as one of Tennessee’s top wide receiver targets. Additionally, MacIntyre has devoted a lot of effort on Ffrench’s recruitment for the Vols. Ffrench, five-star offensive tackle David Sanders Jr., four-star offensive tackle Juan Gaston, and two of his Tennessee Select 7-on-7 teammates, wide receiver Radarious Jackson of Memphis, Tenn., and four-star athlete Cameron Sparks of Chattanooga, Tenn., were among the players MacIntyre specifically mentioned as players he had been prioritizing in late February.
At the time, MacIntyre stated, “Aside from the in-state kids, I would say I’m mostly focused on the offensive side of the ball.”
Director of scouting Andrew Ivins’ official assessment of Ffrench for 247Sports is that the highly sought-after receiver is “a skilled route-runner with superb body control and strong hands.”
Measuring approximately 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds in the summer before his 11th-grade year, Ffrench can occasionally play much bigger than his stature suggests when he battles for position and wins the prize, according to Ivins. “His quick feet allow him to keep defenders off balance as he attacks the deeper areas of the field, and his attention to detail allows him to separate underneath.”
Although he may not be a genuine burner, he has demonstrated his ability to win a decent amount of foot races and has testing results that are reasonable for his age. does a good job of picking his way through traffic and is the kind of ball carrier who recognizes the importance of just gaining the yards that is given to him.
“Needs to keep improving and absorb all coaching, but he has the tools to become a go-to target at the Power Five level.” Probably bring some versatility to the wide receiver room of his choosing, as he may be able to play both inside and outside depending on how his body develops. With some polish, he might be on the field early in his college career, much like his older brother Maurice Ffrench, who, before joining the NFL, set a few single-season records at Pittsburgh.
