Springfield Hillcrest's High School football star Dorial Green ready for recruiting rush
By Chris Replogle, KY3 News
Story Updated: May 18, 2010

Springfield - When does Dorial Green have time to sleep?

The Springfield Hillcrest High School football star has a schedule that will keep him going and going and going. But it also keeps him in the spotlight.

"I'm pretty busy, all-around," said Green in a one-on-one interview with KY3.

The soon-to-be junior is considered one of the the top college football prospects in the recruiting class of 2012, if not the best wide receiver in the country.

Green has received interest from some of the top college football programs in the country despite his underclassmen status. The list includes both Mizzou and Arkansas as well as Oklahoma, LSU, Illinois and Kansas.

"I just don't know where I best fit in yet," said Green.

The 6'6 215 pound freak as an athlete has coaches drooling while looking at his tape. Green nearly doubled his production from a very good freshman season. As a sophomore he caught 66 passes for 1,616 yards and 23 touchdowns. Green still believes he can better those numbers with some off-season work.

"(I need to) get better mentally and physically, all-around balance," noted Green.

He expects stay busy this summer, participating in several football camps including Mizzou's at Parkview High School in July. However, he's hoping to pickup more scholarship offers by traveling to other top-notch schools such as Florida and Ohio State.

"(I'm) going to work hard, come into the combines and show them what I've got," said Green.

Hillcrest's Dorial Green of Springfield MO receives national athlete of the year award
by Joe Hickman, KY3 News
Story Published: Jun 23, 2010

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- This city is the home of the best high school athlete in the nation. At least that's the opinion of Max Preps, a nationally-renowned recruiting service that presented Hillcrest's Dorial Green with that honor on Tuesday.

Green is the first ever non-senior to receive the award. It is an honor so unusual for a sophomore that MaxPreps, a Web site for high school recruits that bestowed the honor, was a little reticent at first.

"It's pretty shocking," said Steve Spiewak, the football editor for MaxPreps. "Even internally, we were wondering if this award should go to a sophomore. Can we do that? It's never happened before."

Green's football coach and adoptive father, John Beckham, is worried about its implications.

"I guess that's one of my biggest worries," Beckham said. "Where do you go from here? Male Athlete of the Year and you've got two years of high school left. I hope we can keep him grounded and focused on what he needs to accomplish in school."

He still has two years of high school left, but that's the impressive thing about the national athlete of the year honor for Green, who remembers the first time he started getting national attention when college offers started coming as a high school freshman.

"My first offer was with UCLA my freshman year," Green recalled.

Now, he's heard from more than 50 of college football's elite.

"Just in the last month he's got offers from Florida, Ohio State and Notre Dame," Beckham said.

"I still have Mizzou up there," Green said. "Florida, Oklahoma, Arkansas, LSU, Nebraska, Wisconsin -- all of them are still open.

Becoming Dorial Green-Beckham
From troubled childhood to athletic stardom, the unlikely journey of the nation's top high school athlete.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. ? He was the best football player in Missouri, a dominant receiver who possessed a man-amongst-boys frame combined with outstanding leaping ability and athleticism.

In the winter, he wore a different hat ? or jersey ? and transformed into the state?s most dominant big man on the hardwood, routinely registering double-doubles and developing a reputation as one of the best high-flyers around.

On the track and in the field, a place he rarely had time to practice or refine, he captured state titles in two events, the 100-meter dash and triple jump, and finished second in the long jump.

Off the field, he overcame the challenges of being raised by a single parent with a substance abuse problem and no stable place to live.

Dorial Green-Beckham, a rising junior at Hillcrest High School (Springfield, Mo.), has overcome a troubled upbringing to become one of the most dominant three-sport athletes in recent memory.

"He?s like the high school version of Randy Moss," CBS College Sports recruiting analyst Lemming said.

The Florida Gators have told Dorial that he?s their top recruiting target for the class of 2012.

He has scholarship offers from numerous teams that typically play on New Year?s Day or later.

As he continues to gain experience at wide receiver and add more muscle to his massive frame, Dorial?s potential is limitless.

In addition to the Moss comparison, Lemming likened him to A.J. Green, the silky-smooth receiver from Georgia who could be the top pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Hillcrest's Dorial Green-Beckham: Calm before the recruiting storm
Dorial Green-Beckham enjoyed a quiet summer, but things are about to heat up.
Matt Schoch ? News-Leader ? August 8, 2010

Major-college football prospects often spend their summers flying around the country meeting with coaches and working out at university football camps to boost their stock on the recruiting trail.

But Dorial Green-Beckham, a potential five-star football recruit following a monster sophomore year at Hillcrest High School -- All-Ozarks in football and basketball, state champion in basketball and gold medalist in the 100 meters and triple jump at the state track meet -- had what John Beckham, his adoptive father and coach, called "a fairly boring summer."

Save for a high school football team camp, a travel-team basketball tournament in Arkansas and a trip to Florida with the family, Green-Beckham stayed primarily in southwest Missouri.

"I ran and all that; hung out and went up to school to catch a couple balls," Green-Beckham said last week. "I was working on my hands and catching the ball.

"But I mostly just stayed here and worked on all the things here."

But make no mistake: Green-Beckham not hunting notoriety this summer makes him no less of a target for the nation's big-time college football programs.

The 6-foot-5, 205-pound wide receiver caught 63 passes for 1,616 yards (a state single-season record) and 23 touchdowns last year in helping the Hornets notch the first playoff victory in school history.

MaxPreps.com named Green-Beckham its National Male Athlete of the Year.

Jeremy Crabtree, national recruiting editor for Yahoo! Sports and Rivals.com, said Green-Beckham has a great chance to be labeled a five-star recruit after his junior year, the highest rating Rivals awards.

"It would be a shock to me that he's not a five-star talent," Crabtree said this week. "It's early, but he's arguably one of the nation's top 25 or top 50 (recruits), and you could legitimately make a case that he's top five."

So I guess in light of this new article that he didn't make any of these camps?

I saw this kid play in person once his sophomore year.

My girlfriend went to SBU in Bolivar, MO for a couple of years and Hillcrest was playing Bolivar HS one night and we caught the game. I remembered him looking like a men among boys, he caught 2 TD's in the first half and then Bolivar destroyed Hillcrest. All-in-all though, this kid is going to be nasty for whomever he lands with.

He's the real deal for sure.
