OLB Green adds 2nd Big Ten offer

North Chicago (Ill.) junior outside linebacker prospect Kevin Green (6-foot-2, 213 pounds) landed his 2nd Big Ten scholarship offer and his third offer overall this spring.

"My head coach (Mike Grenda) received a call fro the coaches at the University of Minnesota on Wednesday," Green said. "The Minnesota coaches told him that the Gophers were offering me a scholarship."

Green, who now has early offers from Minnesota, Purdue and Bowling Green talked about latest offer from the Gophers.

"I still haven't spoken to any of the coaches at Minnesota just yet, but I'm planning to give them a call early this week. I'[m excited about getting an offer from Minnesota. I really don't have any idea what position they are recruiting me for at this point, but just to get an offer from them is great. I'm going to look at what Minnesota has to offer. I know that they have had some recent success on the field, and that Minnesota is a really good team in the Big Ten conference. I'm definitely looking forward to talking with the coaches soon."

Green is now focusing in on getting ready for summer camps as well as his senior season.

"I'm just focusing in on getting myself ready for the college camps and my senior season. I know that the May evaluation period is a big deal, but I'm trying to just stay focused on what I need to do to get better every day. If I get a bunch of calls that would be great and exciting, but I'm also trying not to get too excited about the calls. Having three early offers is excitement enough for me."

Green also insist that he's still wide open when it comes to naming any early favorites.

"I'm pretty wide open right now. I just want to see what my options are and then I'll start to really research schools. I'm really in no hurry at all to make any decisions."
