LSU, Michigan in to see 2025 5-star QB George MacIntyre
Both LSU and Michigan are on byes this week, meaning the respective coaching staffs are able to hit the road and recruit around the country.
Nashville is the destination for both Tigers quarterbacks coach Joe Sloan and Wolverines QBs coach Kirk Campbell on Thursday night, as they’re among those that are in to see Brentwood Academy five-star quarterback George MacIntyre.
On Oct. 9, the 6-foot-5.5, 185-pounder trimmed his recruitment down to 10 schools, including LSU and Michigan, as well as Alabama, Auburn, FIU, Florida State, Georgia, Oregon, Tennessee and UCLA. MacIntyre ranks as the No. 14 overall prospect and No. 2 QB in the 2025 cycle, per the On3 Industry Ranking.
“Coach Sloan, he’s one of the best out there. He’s a great recruiter, great coach, great guy,” MacIntyre told On3 in September. “And I’ve really enjoyed being at LSU. I’ve got a couple friends down there now that are also recruits and a couple are committed. It’s been great going down there and I’ve talked to Coach Kelly quite a bit. It’s kind of a family feel with their staff.”
This weekend, MacIntyre is scheduled to get out to California to visit UCLA. He has also made stops at Alabama, Florida International and Tennessee. The Crimson Tide currently have the lead for the elite QB, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM).
MacIntyre has an On3 NIL Valuation of $321K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
