Green favors four schools

Christian Green is a four-star prospect from Tampa Catholic High School. Green, 6-2 and 200 pounds, is a dynamic athlete. He plays quarterback for his high school team but projects as a receiver. This season he will play some wide receiver as well as safety. Green has electric speed and great quickness. As a freshman he had 10 touchdown receptions playing wide receiver.

In terms of recruiting, Green has narrowed things down to four schools.

"I like Florida State, Florida, Georgia and USF," Green said. "I have family connections to Florida State (cousin is former FSU standout wide receiver E.G. Green). I really like the coaching staff there and I feel very comfortable with the coaches. I also like the players and they all say good things about the coaches and the environment.

"I like lots of things about Florida. They have a nice coaching staff. The players work hard and compete every day. Florida has won championships and they have a chance to win another one this season.

"I really like Georgia coach (Mark) Richt and that staff. They are all good people. Georgia is an up and coming program and in the future they have a chance to be real good. I talk with Aaron (Murray) and Orson (Charles) up there once in a while and they like it.

"I really know the USF coaching staff so well. I mean I have known them since I was like five-years old. I feel comfortable with them and they are an up and coming program. South Florida is good and they got to No. 2 in the nation."

There has been much speculation as to when Green would make his college decision. He and his teammate, offensive tackle prospect Chaz Green, wanted to commit this summer. But now it looks like it will happen this fall.

"I know I want to try and make a decision sometime during the season. I would like to do it before the beginning of the season. But I want to (officially) visit Georgia first. That will be early in the year but I am not sure on the date yet."

Green is a Rivals100 prospect (No. 24 overall) and the No. 4 rated athlete.
