Going into the 2022 football season, Aggies Wire will be looking at each scholarship player listed on the Texas A&M roster.
Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Jimbo Fisher this season.
Brian George was one of the premier JUCO signings for Jimbo Fisher in the 2020 class, bringing experience and needed depth to a position that at the time needed an infusion of talent. George grew up in South Bay, Florida, and played football at Glades Central High School, but was under-recruited at the time and opted to attend Highland Community College in Highland, Kansas for two seasons. As he continued to develop at the corner position and produce on the field, the offers started to roll in after his 2019 sophomore season from programs such as Auburn, Alabama, and of course, Texas A&M. George committed to the Aggies on Dec. 17, 2019, and began his junior 2020 season with the team the following fall. During that season, George made 2 starts in 10 total appearances, making his first start against Tennesee in Knoxville where he made 4 total tackles, and his second start in the Orange Bowl against North Carolina, in which he made three total tackles and 1 pass break up. During his first senior season during the 2021 season, George earned one of the starting cornerback spots with the Aggies, yet George only appeared in 5 games while starting the first 4 and producing 10 total tackles before sustaining an injury that would shut him down for the rest of the season.

Depth Chart Overview
Brian George is currently listed as a reserve cornerback in the defensive back rotation in Texas A&M’s 4-2-5 defensive scheme, led by the first-year defensive coordinator, D.J. Durkin. George is slated as the backup to starting cornerback Tyreek Chappell (Sophomore) and will most likely share snaps with veteran cornerback Myles Jones (Grad Student). Before his injury during the 2021 season, Brian George was one of the more reliable corners for Texas A&M due to his size and vertical speed in coverage and was beginning to show his worth as a consistent tackler in the first five games of the season. As I’ve stated before, the experience and overall talent of this defensive back group are otherworldly at this point, and it’s going to be very interesting to see how it plays out when the final depth chart is announced.
