George Farmer (born July 4, 1993) is an American football running back who is currently a free agent. He graduated in 2011 from Junípero Serra High School in Gardena, California, and entered the NFL draft after his redshirt junior year at USC.
Farmer was regarded as a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, and was listed as the No. 1 wide receiver prospect in the class of 2011. He has been featured as Sports Illustrated′s "High School Player of the Week" in October 2010, and participated in the 2010 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
At Junípero Serra High School, Farmer was a teammate of Colorado wideout and future Seahawks teammate Paul Richardson and San Jose Spartan cornerback Bene Benwikere as well as former USC Trojan wideouts Robert Woods and Marqise Lee.
Farmer is son of former NFL player George Farmer, who played for both the Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins in the 1980s.
Also an excellent sprinter, Farmer finished second in the 100 meters to Remontay McClain—in a photo finish (both at 10.40 sec)—at the 2010 CIF track meet.
Farmer played at USC as a freshman in the 2011 season, appearing in 4 games mostly as a running back, while catching 4 passes for 42 yards and returning 3 kickoffs for a total of 59 yards.
