DUE TO SETBACK OF THE TEAM,A KEY PLAYER FOR THE HAMILTON TIGERS CATS Kenneth George Jr. ANNOUNCE STEP DOWN TO THE TEAM.
Born on March 14, 1997, Kenneth George Jr. is a professional American football defensive back who plays for the Canadian Football League (CFL) Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He attended Tennessee and Trinity Valley Community College to play college football. In addition, he played for the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL and the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League (NFL).
George grew five inches and put on fifty pounds after high school, making him a walk-on at Trinity Valley Community College. In 2016, he was placed on leave. In 11 games during the 2017 season, he recorded 27 tackles and two interceptions.
In order to play college football at Tennessee from 2018 to 2021, George transferred. Before sustaining an injury that ended his season, he made three tackles in the first four games of the 2018 campaign. He admitted guilt to assaulting a police officer and to resisting an officer without using force, and in August 2019, he was given a one-year probationary term.
In 2019, George played in 13 games—six of which he started—and recorded 19 tackles, one interception, and three pass breakups. In 2020, he participated in eight games—four of which he started—and finished with 25 tackles and six pass breaks. In eight games in 2021, he recorded five tackles.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are unexpectedly closer to earning a home postseason game than they are to missing the playoffs, so don’t look now.
They’re creating momentum and getting the big plays from all three phases of the game at the crucial moments that were so frequently their undoing as they started the season at 3-7. They’re also accomplishing things they didn’t do for the most of the first two thirds of the season, like scoring touchdowns.
The latter third of the season is the ideal time to break poor habits, or at least restrict them. The Ticats maintained their ascent on Saturday afternoon at Tim Hortons Field with a 29-23 victory over the Blue Bombers over the entire 60 minutes. They have won three of their last four games, two of which were against the Bombers, who are now leading the West Division, and BC, two of the top three CFL clubs.
“Many people believe that we have only defeated BC and Ottawa three times,” safety Stavros Katsantonis says. On Saturday, he made crucial plays, including a leaping interception and a quick sack of Zach Collaros, the league’s top pivot. However, that is the claim we have made.
The Cats surprised the Blue Bombers with an all-too-rare explosive start by the offense, which may be the beginning of the end for them as they scored two field goals and two touchdowns on their first four possessions. The Blue Bombers did have some deep completions against an injured wide side of the Hamilton secondary, but they were unable to establish a consistent rhythm.
With a record of 6-7, the Ticats moved into a tie for second place in the CFL East with the Montreal Alouettes after intercepting Collaros three times. They need to end with a better record than the Als, who have already won the tiebreaker, in order to get the homefield playoff spot. However, what appeared unachievable a month ago now appears achievable.
