This has to be the most adorable commitment of all time. Highly touted high school recruit George Brown Jr. announced Friday that he would take his talents to Florida by showing a live baby alligator in his palm and announcing, "Swamp."

The offensive lineman from Winton Woods High School in Cincinnati had narrowed his choices down to Florida, Alabama and Kentucky.

Where exactly did he get a baby alligator in Ohio?! Would he have presented a young cat if he had chosen Kentucky?

Here's the close-up. This guy is awesome!
