RECRUIT WATCH: Tennessee football QB pledge throws 3 touchdowns, rushes for a trio of scores

Tennessee’s quarterback future took a major step forward this week as four-star prospect Kaden Craft delivered a standout performance for Lake Norman High School. Craft accounted for six total touchdowns—three through the air and three on the ground—while leading his team to a 60-0 victory.

His dual-threat versatility shone with 241 passing yards and 71 rushing yards, though he did throw an interception, marking the second straight game with a turnover. Despite the miscue, Craft’s efficiency and scoring ability (16 passing touchdowns and 11 rushing touchdowns on the season) solidify his status as a top-tier recruit for the Volunteers’ long-term plans.

Meanwhile, Tennessee’s 2027 running back class showed depth with standout performances from David Gabriel-Georges and Asa Barnes. Georges, a five-star prospect from Baylor School, dominated in a recent rivalry game with 109 rushing yards and three touchdowns, including a 90-yard run called back for holding.

His season totals of 961 rushing yards and 17 rushing touchdowns highlight his explosive potential. Barnes, a three-star senior from Westview, also made an impact with 193 rushing yards and two touchdowns, including a 92-yard score, further bolstering Tennessee’s recruiting haul at the position.
