George Brown is only a sophomore at Cincinnati (Ohio) Colerain but over the weekend he picked up his first offer. His family is already experienced when it comes to the recruiting process.

Brown has two older siblings that went through the process. Most recently his brother Aaron Brown signed with Virginia Tech coming out of Cincinnati (Ohio) Princeton in the Class of 2006. At the time he was a four-star prospect and the No. 7 overall recruit in Ohio according to Rivals.com.

The younger Brown has the potential to be mentioned in the same breath, and may even eventually exceed his brother's hype.

At 6-foot-6 and 253-pounds, Brown does a little bit of everything for Colerain but he's likely to be recruited as an offensive tackle. He was at Kentucky over the weekend.

"It was really good," Brown said. "I liked the new coaches and everything. It's a great campus. It was my second time down there but my first time with the new coaches being there.

"The coach I talked to the most was probably coach (John) Schlarman, the offensive line coach. I talked with coach (Mark) Stoops a couple of times, too."

Schlarman gave Brown a solid endorsement. He told the Class of 2015 recruit that he liked his highlight tape and "wants [him] to come play for UK."

Brown left Lexington with a verbal offer, his first of the process. That's likely to help UK's chances down the road. Schlarman was the coach that let Brown know he has a spot with the Cats.

"I really don't have a list right now but Kentucky was the first school to offer me," he noted.

The basketball game and seeing 24,000 Kentucky fans supporting their Wildcats was one of the highlights of the trip, he said.

Brown is likely to continue playing tight end, offensive line and defensive end for Colerain. He told Cats Illustrated he does not have any other college visits scheduled.
