In a tweet posted on Thursday morning four-star, wide receiver Jacolby George from Plantation High School in Fort Lauderdale stated he will announce his college destination on June 6. The Miami football program is the favorite to sign George.
Four-star wide receiver Jacolby George tweeted on Thursday morning that he will announce his college decision on June 6. George is the 177th ranked player, 31th ranked WR and 24th player in Florida in the Class 2021. The Miami football program has yet to receive a commitment from a player classified at WR.
Tight ends, four-star Elijah Arroyo who committed to the Miami football program last week and three-star Khalil Brantley are part of the Hurricanes 2021 class. Three-star athlete Chamon Meteyer who was previously classified at defensive end but will play WR in 2020 is also committed to the Hurricanes.
Miami is considered to be the favorite to sign George. George is also high on Georgia Tech and Penn State where WRs coach Taylor Stubblefield previously held the same position with Miami. Central Florida, West Virginia and Pittsburgh are also thought to be among the finalists to sign George.
George told Andrew Ivins of Inside the U that he communicated the most with Miami, Penn State and Georgia Tech. George was committed to Miami in 2019 from June through November. The four-star WR was one of a few de-commits from the Hurricanes following the loss to FIU last November.
Covid-19 has taken a lot away from us but it can’t take my love for the game 🤞🏾. I believe I have chosen where I want to attend college. I’m going to discuss my decision with my parents and pray about it. With that being said ...I will be Commiting June 6 ,2020🙏@PHSColonelsFB

Miami is still hoping to sign WRs five-star Jacorey Brooks from Booker T. Washington and four-star WR Romello Brinson from Miami Northwestern. Florida is the favorite to sign Brooks with Brinson not currently projected towards a specific school. George told Ivins he has been impressed by the changes on the Miami coaching staff.
Miami moved up to seventh nationally in the 2021 recruiting classes after gaining the commitment from Arroyo. After Minnesota gained a commitment the Hurricanes dropped to eighth. Without commitments to other schools, the addition of George would move Miami to sixth ahead of Iowa and Minnesota.
