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.
