Green Ready for Big-Time Season

A 6-2, 220-pound defensive end as a freshman, Conway (SC) defensive lineman Hivera Green has since grown into an imposing and athletic 6-5, 268-pound rising senior. He uses his size, strength, athleticism and the experience he gained since his freshman year to wreak havoc on opposing offenses.

“I’ve played defense for 3 years,” Green said. “My freshman year was when I first started playing defense. I’ve learned a lot over the last few years because there were a lot of great players before me. So even when I was younger and not playing as much, I was learning.

“Now I’m 6-5, 268-pounds. The strongest points of my game are my strength, my knowledge of where the ball is and my pass rushing ability.”

Green enjoyed an excellent junior season last year, finishing with 63 tackles with 7 tackles-for-loss, 5 sacks, 4 forced-fumbles, and 5 pass break-ups. A defensive end in a 3-3-5 scheme, the versatile Green is being recruited primarily as an end on the next level.
