Quick Summary

High school football standout David Gabriel-Georges, a Tennessee Vols commit ranked as the second-best running back in America, made headlines again with a powerful kickoff block during a game against Ensworth. The video shows Gabriel-Georges delivering a devastating hit that would likely be considered excessive in professional leagues but is allowed in high school games. Despite concerns about him using energy on special teams, he also had an impressive performance rushing for 139 yards and two touchdowns in the same game.
