Elite 11 Finals: Tennessee 5-star QB commit George MacIntyre out with injury

The Elite 11 Finals will begin on Tuesday, as some of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 cycle are set to compete in Los Angeles at the nation’s premier camp for signal-callers.

The roster will no longer feature Tennessee five-star QB commit George MacIntyre, however. The Nashville Ensworth standout announced on Monday evening via his Instagram story that he will not be participating due to injury.

“Injury didn’t heal in time and won’t be able to make it, good luck to y’all boys tho,” MacIntyre wrote.

Elite 11 confirmed on Monday night via X that MacIntyre will not be competing:

MacIntyre was one of four five-stars on the 20-man roster and the third highest-ranked prospect overall. The No. 16 overall prospect in the nation, per the On3 Industry Ranking, MacIntyre had previously spoken with On3’s Chad Simmons detailing the upcoming event.

“They sell it pretty well as the world’s greatest quarterback fraternity,” MacIntyre told On3. “There’s so many guys in the NFL that have won it, that have been a finalist and that have made it to the Elite 11 Finals. There are NFL MVPs that didn’t make it out of Elite 11 regionals. There’s so much deep history with how far back it has gone. They evaluate players pretty well because they’ve seen nearly every quarterback that’s ever taken part in an event. I’m really excited to get out there, get in front of the guys and compete.” 

MacIntyre took his official visit to Tennessee over the weekend and continues to be a major recruiter for the Vols. He was around multiple other five-star recruits on Rocky Top, including Five-Star Plus+ offensive tackle and No. 2 overall prospect David Sanders Jr. — the top target on Tennessee’s board.

“Who wouldn’t play in coach Josh Heupel’s offense as an offensive lineman, a receiver, a tight end, a running back or a quarterback?” MacIntyre said. “It’s a very quarterback-friendly offense. Once they get there, I think they believe more and more every time that we’re a school going on an upward trajectory. I tell a lot of the offensive guys that you’re going to be a part of the same offensive system for as long as you are there.”
