2020 UT football player card: Kenneth George Jr.

Kenneth George Jr., cornerback (No. 41)

Class: Redshirt senior

Height: 5-11

Weight: 201

Hometown: Lafayette, Louisiana

High School: Acadiana

Junior College: Trinity Valley C.C.

George has had quite a path to get to this point. A former walk-on at Trinity Valley Community College, George signed at Tennessee after just one season of junior college and suffered a season-ending injury early in 2018. In 2019, George played in all 13 games, and provided nice relief in wake of Bryce Thompson’s early-season suspension.

George finished last season with 19 tackles and one interception. He will certainly appear in plenty of games for the Vols in 2020 as a key piece of depth for UT’s cornerback unit.
