He recently took an official visit to WKU.

This coming weekend, Liberty is scheduled to host George Washington III for an official visit as part of the school’s homecoming weekend. Washington is a 6’2″ guard from Louisville, Kentucky where he attends Christian Academy. He is rated as a 4-star prospect by some outlets, including ESPN where he is ranked as the No. 24 prospect nationally in the Class of 2023. His offer list includes Louisville, Ohio State, Arkansas, Cincinnati, Western Kentucky, and Auburn.
