Ryan Green came to FSU as a talented four-star running back recruit with a player rating of 97.40. Green checked in at 5’10 195 pounds. Green played his true freshman season, logging 33 carries for 163 yards and a touchdown.
His 2014 season saw him injured much of the season and he decided to make the move to cornerback with Dalvin Cook becoming the featured running back.
He suffered a shoulder injury that caused him to miss all of 2015, and he decided to move back to the running back position for the 2016 season.
Green had 11 carries for 75 yards in 2016 and has one year of eligibility remaining. Unfortunately, Green has been a victim of bad injury luck, but has been a good student otherwise at FSU.
Grade- D+
Like a couple of the others, Green is a talented kid that ran into bad injury luck and unfortunate timing of being at FSU while Dalvin Cook was there. A player rated this highly should be able to contribute significantly.
However to his credit, he has done well in school and been a model student-athlete during his time at FSU.
