New offer today. It sounds like Duke had been his favorite, but he didn't want to name one.

Developmental prospect, since he needs to put on weight. But the athleticism is definitely there when you consider that 247s ranks George as the #1 prospect from Nevada this year -- at defensive end.

I couldn't find any highlights on youtube and hudl didn't have video.

I think this one from the Nike SPARQ combine on ESPN is non-premium:

Also, Rivals has 2 premium videos:

Last, there was a great article in the Las Vegas Sun today:

The high school season is still four months away, but George is spending the offseason competing in recruiting showcases against other top recruits. The general consensus is he’s a star in the making.


“He is pretty raw, yet very smooth,” Arbor View coach Dan Barnson said. “He has the size and you can’t create that. He has speed, which you can coach and teach, but a lot of his is natural."
