Georgia football trying to flip Tennessee quarterback commit

The Georgia Bulldogs are pushing to steal a quarterback recruit from an SEC rival. They offered three-star quarterback Derrick Baker, according to an announcement from his high school (Milton High School). Baker is currently committed to the Tennessee Volunteers.

Baker is a three-star quarterback from the class of 2027. The 6-foot-1, 226-pounder plays high school football for Milton High School based in Alpharetta, Georgia. He committed to the Tennessee Volunteers on Feb. 11, 2026. Baker is ranked as the No. 40 quarterback in the country, per the 247Sports Composite.

He is expected to visit to Tennessee’s campus on June 5, according to Rivals. Interestingly enough, he’s hasn’t officially visited Georgia’s campus. The Auburn Tigers lead in visits from him, according to Rivals’ visit counter.

Georgia’s looking for the quarterback of the future once Gunner Stockton leaves the program. They struck out swinging on five-star quarterback Elijah Haven (Alabama) and four-star quarterback Davin Davidson (Florida), so they’re running out of time to find a high-rated 2027 QB recruit.

Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton (14) runs the ball in for a touchdown during an NCAA college football game against Tennessee on September 13, 2025, Knoxville, Tennessee.

Overall, Georgia’s recruiting class hasn’t hit its stride yet this offseason. Their class is ranked No. 22 in the nation after three-star WR Aden Starling decommitted.

They’ve earned two five-star commits (RB Kemon Spell, CB Donte Wright), but they have just seven commits from their class of 2027. Last season, Georgia went on a major run in June and July, so there’s still time to bolster their class, but Georgia fans will have to wait and see.
