Miami Hurricanes 2019 Player Profile: Realus George - State of the U

“Redshirt-freshman fullback Realus George has something to prove in 2019. One of only two fullbacks in the Class of 2018 to receive a Power 5 offer, George arrived in Coral Gables one year ago as the nation’s top-ranked fullback according to 247Sports and Rivals.com.

“After three straight games at home, they were back on the road, a lengthy trip up to Philadelphia to battle the winless Temple Owls. This was by no means a big-stage game or an instant classic that any Canes fan should recall.
