David Gabriel Georges issues statement he shouldn’t have had to issue after committing to Tennessee
New Vols commit David Gabriel Georges had to issue a statement after dealing with some awful messages from “fans”.
2027 five-star running back David Gabriel Georges committed to the Tennessee Vols on Wednesday and he instantly learned how awful some college football fans can be.
Gabriel Georges was the target of some nasty tweets and messages after picking Tennessee over Ohio State and Ole Miss.
As a result, Gabriel Georges had to issue a statement shortly after his commitment condemning the attacks on his character.
Here’s the full statement.
First and foremost, I give all glory to God for His countless blessings and for faithfully guiding me throughout this journey. Without Him, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
I also want to express my sincere gratitude to my family, friends, coaches, teammates, mentors, and everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way. Your belief in me, your guidance, and your unwavering support have meant more than words can express, and I will always be grateful.
I also feel it is important to address something. What should have been one of the most meaningful and joyful moment of my life has, at times, been overshadowed by negative media coverage, false narratives, and unfair assumptions about both my character and my family. I understand the passion, excitement, and pride that college football inspires, and I have great respect for every fan base and every program involved in this process. However, any form of harassment, and the spread of misinformation is simply unnecessary and uncalled for.
This decision was mine and was made through careful thought, prayer, and countless conversations with those I trust most. I respectfully ask that my decision be honored and that people refrain from making assumptions or spreading false information.
As I move forward, my focus remains on finishing the school year strong, continuing to grow as a student, a football player, and most importantly as a person. I am incredibly excited for the opportunities that lie ahead and look forward to embracing every challenge with humility, gratitude, and a relentless commitment to becoming the best version of myself.
To everyone who has stood by me throughout this journey, thank you. Your encouragement has meant the world to me. I can’t wait to begin this next chapter, represent my new program with pride, and continue chasing my dreams. The future is bright, and I am excited for everything that is still to come. Go Vols.
It’s truly unreal that high school athletes have to deal with stuff like this from so called “fans”.
