I come from a big, proud Tennessee family and grew up around the game of football. My grandfather and namesake Coach George MacIntyre was a legendary coach at Vanderbilt. My uncle Mike is a longtime college football coach, and my dad Matt played at Western Kentucky. I spent a lot of time on the sidelines as a kid, watching and learning about the game along the way.
And while a few of the MacIntyre men closest to me went to school elsewhere, most of my family attended the University of Tennessee. In fact, I’m a third generation Vol and the 44th to head to Knoxville – I guess you could say it’s a family tradition.
I’ve lived in Nashville my whole life and have attended Brentwood Academy since sixth grade. I love the BA community and am grateful for having grown up an Eagle. Committing to Tennessee in front of my teammates, classmates, and coaches – my BA family – was a dream come true and is something I’ll never forget.
Football is my passion, but basketball was my first love and I still continue to play high school ball. For a while I thought I might play basketball in college, but there’s nothing that gets me more excited and motivated than being part of a football team and playing the quarterback position.
I’m grateful to my family for supporting my dream. I know I’ve kept my mom and dad very busy, whether it’s football, basketball, and traveling all around. Their support and love means everything to me. A special shout out to my sisters for enduring being a quarterback’s sibling. I know it isn’t easy sitting in the stands sometimes. I’m also thankful to Grancy and Gramps, who never miss a game.
I’m focused on finishing my high school career at BA the right way and couldn’t be more excited that the next chapter will be in Knoxville. It means a lot to have so many Vols fans reaching out and showing me love.
Thanks for visiting my website and being part of my journey.
