George MacIntyre News, Rumors, Updates - Tennessee Volunteers

Back in quarterback race MacIntyre and Faizon Brandon are competing for Tennessee's starting quarterback job, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Back in 2025, even with the summer departure of Nico Iamaleava to UCLA, MacIntyre could not win Tennessee's quarterback race, which was won by Joey Aguilar. Aguilar was denied an extra year of collegiate eligibility, and with Jake Merklinger gone to Connecticut, MacIntyre's odds look much more favorable. MacIntyre's primary competition is Faizon Brandon, a member of Tennessee's 2026 recruiting class.

Seemingly out of starting QB race MacIntyre has been working with the third-team offense in fall camp and has seemingly fallen out of the race for the starting job this fall, Pete Nakos of On3 reports.

Impact MacIntyre was among three candidates mentioned alongside Joey Aguilar and Jake Merklinger as potential starters this fall, but the freshman has reportedly been working with the third-team offense, and the race seems to be between Aguilar and Merklinger. Aguilar is a senior, while Merklinger already has a year of college football under his belt, so it's not too surprising that the true freshman will take a back seat for the time being. MacIntyre is still a highly thought of quarterback and could have another shot next fall should Aguilar win the job and work as the starter during 2025.

Could this 2025 Tennessee QB competition turn out like Hendon Hooker vs Joe Milton? Joey Aguilar, Jake Merklinger and George MacIntyre will compete in Tennessee's first quarterback competition since 2021.

JULY 15, 2025 • TENNESSEAN.COM

Will compete for starting job MacIntyre will compete against Joey Aguilar and Jake Merklinger to be Tennessee's starting quarterback, Brett McMurphy of On3 reports.

Impact MacIntyre is a 6-foot-6, 190-pound Tennessee native with an immediate opportunity to break out at the collegiate level. But unlike either Aguilar or Merklinger, the freshman lacks experience, which may be warranted for a UT team trying to replicate its 2024 success. But as a four-star recruit, there is reason to believe MacIntyre may win out despite the odds against him.
