| George transferred to Stanford from the Air Force Academy in 1989 and the 6-foot-2, 220-pounder wasted no time making his presence felt on The Farm, leading the Pac-10 in sacks and tackles for loss in 1990. A year later, George was third in the Pac-10 in sacks and second in tackles for loss as Stanford went 8-3 under Dennis Green to earn an invitation to the Aloha Bowl, the Cardinal's first bowl appearance since 1986. George was prepared to enter the NFL draft but decided to stay when coach Bill Walsh returned to Stanford for the 1992 season. The decision paid off for George, who earned first-team All-America honors, recording 25 tackles for loss and 15 sacks in 1992 -- the second-best season marks in school history. The Cardinal finished 10-3, with a Blockbuster Bowl victory over Penn State and a No. 9 ranking. Drafted in the fifth-round by the Atlanta Falcons in 1993, George spent eight seasons in the NFL. |
