George MacIntyre gets nod vs Arkansas, Tennessee's 6th starting QB for Josh Heupel
George MacIntyre will be Tennessee's sixth starting quarterback of Josh Heupel's six-year coaching era, getting the nod against Arkansas on Oct. 10.
George MacIntyre has been named Tennessee's sixth starting quarterback under head coach Josh Heupel, set to take on Arkansas on October 10. MacIntyre, a sophomore and former Brentwood Academy standout, took first-team reps in pregame warm-ups leading up to the announcement. Freshman Faizon Brandon, who had started the first five games, was listed as a game-time decision.
MacIntyre has already started one game, leading the Vols to a 24-14 victory over Auburn, where he completed 14 of 20 passes for 148 yards and one touchdown. Brandon, the five-star freshman, had an apparent shoulder injury and was benched in the second quarter of the Auburn game. MacIntyre follows Joe Milton, Hendon Hooker, Nico Iamaleava, Joey Aguilar, and Brandon as Heupel's other starting quarterbacks.
Tennessee is currently ranked 14th (4-1, 1-1 SEC) and will face Arkansas (2-3, 0-2) in their next SEC football matchup.
