Conway (SC) star Hivera Green’s first official was this past weekend, when he visited the University of South Carolina. It was a good opportunity for the 6-5, 260-pound defensive lineman to get to know the South Carolina coaches a little bit better, and he feels he did just that.

“The visit went great,” Green said. “I got a chance to meet all of the coaches. They have a good coaching staff. I met the defensive line coach and the co-defensive coordinator. I liked the way they spoke about how they are going to set up the defense. It’s almost exactly like the defense we run in high school. That’s a big positive. It would be easy for me to come right in and play. They see me as a player that can come in and play early. I feel like I have a good relationship with the coaches. The players are great too. I like the confidence they have now. They know they are going to win.”

Green named Clemson and Virginia Tech as his leaders in our most recent update, however he has taken a different frame of mind heading into the official visits.

“I didn’t want to set a team higher than the others before these visits,” Green said. “I want to keep an open mind for each visit. I’m going to stay focused and take all of these visits.”
