George MacIntyre has football in his DNA. He's the grandson of former Vanderbilt coach George MacIntyre, who was named SEC and national coach of the year in 1982. Mike MacIntyre, George's uncle, coached at San Jose State, Colorado and FIU and in the NFL. His cousins, Jay and Jonston MacIntyre, also have college coaching resumes. MacIntyre led Brentwood Academy to the 2022 state semifinals by throwing for 2,341 yards and 19 touchdowns. While football is his first passion, he also received scholarships to play basketball in college after leading BA to the Division II-AA state championship as a sophomore. "George has earned all the opportunities and offers coming his way," BA coach Jacob Gill said. "He's an extremely talented player, but he's also a very hard worker. That hard work is what separates him from other good players and makes him great."
