Recruit's surprise not a gator, but still great Posted Jul 27, 2014 The Florida Gators received a commitment from three-star offensive tackle George Brown Jr. on Friday afternoon -- but it was how he made that commitment that has made waves nationally. Brown announced his decision by pulling out what everyone -- including almost all of Twitter -- thought was a baby gator. Only one small problem: It is illegal to possess a gator in Brown's home state of Ohio. So what was thought to have been a baby gator was actually a dwarf caiman. (ESPN.com)
