The 5’11” George decided to make the decision public a few days earlier than expected as he initially had his announcement slated for June 6th. He picked the Canes over Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, West Virginia, Penn State, and UCF.

Ranked as the 34th-best wide receiver and 178th overall in the Class of 2021 according to 247Sports, he was previously in the fold from June to November of last year before he re-opened his recruitment. Since then, George pieced together a great junior season. 

He compiled 1,030 receiving yards on 46 catches with 17 touchdowns for the Colonels, leading them to the second round of the 7A state playoffs.

George is now the lone wide receiver commit in this recruiting cycle for the Canes and this is also the first commitment for new WR coach Rob Likens after joining the staff in February. 

With George back in the class, Miami’s 2021 class moves up four spots in the 247Sports class rankings, from 15th to 11th and out of the 15 commits, it is interesting to note that 12 of them hail from South Florida.
