Morgan Green

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 life 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.

The following year, he recorded 2,630 yards and 26 touchdowns on 360 carries. 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. At the end of his high school playing career, Green ranked as the fifth leading rusher in Maryland state history. He was recruited by Boston College, Florida, Maryland, N.C. State, Penn State, and Virginia. He committed to Maryland, and head coach Ralph Friedgen rescinded a scholarship offer to future Heisman Trophy finalist Steve Slaton, partly in favor of Green. While there, he rushed 21 times for 151 yards and one touchdown. He played in the season opener against Villanova, but suffered a hamstring injury and sat out the remainder of the season. In 2008, Green suffered a lingering quadriceps injury in camp. It continued to bother him throughout the season, and he fell to the third-ranked rusher, behind starter Da'Rel Scott and reserve Davin Meggett. Against Eastern Michigan, Green rushed for two touchdowns. In the 2008 Humanitarian Bowl against Nevada, he rushed 10 times for 72 yards with a 53-yard long and one touchdown.

During spring camp in 2009, Green commented on his previous preseason injuries by saying, "If I make it through camp, I'll be the happiest guy ever because then I'll know I'll have a good season. It seems like it's the camp jinx for me."

In the spring of 2010, he approached head coach Ralph Friedgen and discussed his future with the team. Green decided that he would finish his degree at Maryland and then transfer to Towson University for the remainder of his athletic eligibility. Green, however, did not join the Towson football team for the 2010 season.
