Morgan Green (born March 7, 1987) is an American former college and high school football player. He played as a running back for the Maryland Terrapins at the University of Maryland. He played interscholastic football for Henry E. Lackey High School in Indian Head, Maryland, where he became one of the state's all-time rushing leaders. ==Early years== Morgan Green was born in White Plains, Maryland to parents James and Denise Green. He attended Henry E. Lackey High School in Indian Head, Maryland where he was a three-year starter in football.〔 As a sophomore in 2002, he amassed 1,131 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns, the most of any Washington, D.C. area player in his grade. He expressed disappointment with his performance, however, and worked out intensively in the weight room during the offseason.〔(PRIME-TIME TALENT MORGAN GREEN ), ''The Washington Post'', August 31, 2003.〕 The following year, he recorded 2,630 yards and 26 touchdowns on 360 carries.〔 Green rushed for 200 yards in eight games and set a school rushing record against Leonardtown High School.〔(Fall All-Mets ), ''The Washington Post'', Fall 2003.〕 He was named a consensus first-team all-state and ''The Washington Post'' All-Met player. He was also named to the George Michael's Golden 11 team and named the conference most valuable player.〔 As a senior in 2004, he recorded 209 carries for 1,363 yards and 23 touchdowns, despite missing six games due to an injury. That year, he received Big School second-team all-state and first-team All-SMAC honors.〔 Green expressed his desire to gain yards and challenge the state single-season rushing record. The Lackey High's ball-hawking defense, however, often put the offense in scoring position on a shortened field. About that Green said, "It is less running for me. And even though I might not like that, it's a big relief. If the defense could make plays, it's less stressful on me."〔(In Romp, Chargers Roll Over Rams; Defensive Performance Overshadows Morgan Green's 197-yard Rushing Total ), ''The Washington Post'', October 17, 2004.〕 At the end of his high school playing career, Green ranked as the fifth leading rusher in Maryland state history.〔 ESPN rated Green the eighth-ranked college fullback prospect in the nation. PrepStar and SuperPrep each named Green an All-American. SuperPrep rated him as the 14th-ranked college running back prospect in the nation. Rivals.com named him the six-ranked overall player in the state and 12-ranked tailback in the nation.〔(Player Bio: Morgan Green ), University of Maryland, retrieved January 27, 2009.〕 He was recruited by Boston College, Florida, Maryland, N.C. State, Penn State, and Virginia.〔 He received scholarship offers from Penn State, Maryland, and Virginia.〔(Morgan Green Profile ), Rivals.com, retrieved January 27, 2009.〕 He committed to Maryland, and head coach Ralph Friedgen rescinded a scholarship offer to future Heisman Trophy finalist Steve Slaton, partly in favor of Green.〔(Green, Scott hope to form potent 1-2 punch for Maryland ), ESPN, May 1, 2008.〕〔 In 2005, Green failed to academically qualify for Maryland, and attended preparatory school at the Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia.〔(Friedgen: He missed on Slaton ), ''The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette'', September 13, 2006.〕 While there, he rushed 21 times for 151 yards and one touchdown.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Morgan Green」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
