The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder's stock is on the rise. Though rated No. 24 on the Rivals 100, in the debut edition of
Friday Night Football -- a slick new magazine hits newsstand Wednesday and needs to be checked out -- has Green rated the No. 3 overall prospect in Florida, trailing only Hialeah defensive end Corey Lemonier and Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer safety Matt Elam (UF commit).
Green is the cousin of former
Florida State star
E.G. Green. His mother went to FSU. Talk in recruiting circles is that the kid who helped guide the Crusaders to the Class 3A state semifinals is a done deal for
the Seminoles.
Nope.
Hiram Green, Christian's father, was an all-state wide receiver at Bartow 30 years ago and signed a full-ride to play basketball at South Florida, where he currently works for the USF medical school.
