football recruiting issue it all together and you���ve got a pretty good football player.��� By his senior year he was the nation���s best running back, in fact, proving it during U.S. Army week. Analysts there compared him to some of college football���s best for a reason, Farrell said. ���He did very well,��� he said. ���Usually those games are not running back showcases. There were four running backs on the East squad, and you���ll often see guys get two, three carries and not get to do much. He and Derrick Henry carried the load for the East, but [Green] was much more downhill and separated himself, without a doubt. In a game made for defense and playmaking by the wide receivers, he really stood out.��� His next step should be just as fun, for both Green and Michigan. ��� Chris Balas Derrick Green ��������������� 5-11 ��� 220 ��� Running Back ��� Hermitage High School ��� Richmond, Va.
