DEL.ICIO.USCamden County’s Mike Green adds to school’s DB tradition

Camden County has produced several major-college defensive backs in recent years, including Wake Forest’s Kevin Patterson and former Georgia Tech standout D.J. Jones.
However, Mike Green might have “the best cover skills” out of the group, according to his coach. Green has offers from East Carolina, Indiana, Illinois, Middle Tennessee State, and Memphis, among others.
“We’ve had some good ones, but Mike might be the best pure cover guy we’ve had,” Camden County coach Jeff Herron said. “Mike has got unbelievable ball instincts. He has good some good college opportunities, but I would’ve thought some of the big boys would be after him by now.”
Herron said one concern colleges may have about Green is his speed. Green is not as fast as his teammate, wide receiver DeAngelo Smith, who has committed to South Carolina.
“Now if you put those two guys on a track, [Smith] will win every time. But if you put them on the football field, [Green] is going to just about always have great coverage.”
The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Green projects to play either cornerback or safety in college. Patterson and Jones both ended up at safety after leaving Camden County.
