Here’s a trivia question: How
many true freshman have ever led ASU is sacks? Here’s your answer:
Four. Terrell Suggs, Junior Onyeali, Merlin Robertson, and B.J.
Green. There’s one outlier among that group, as those first three
were heralded 4-star blue chip recruits. Green was a
walk-on.
Ever since stepping foot in
Tempe from Georgia, Green has surpassed external expectations and
been a key part of the Sun Devil defense, and last year tied for
the team lead in sacks. After a brief stint in the transfer portal
after the season, he decided to remain a Sun Devil, and put
together a dominant showing throughout spring practices after a
move to defensive end, setting the stage for a big
2023.
On this episode we discuss why
he came back, the motivation from last year’s struggles, the new
defense and his move to the edge, what Southern food he wants to
see in Tempe, the inspiring reason behind his major, and much
more.
