Southern University WR Green has ball, will travel

Baton Rouge, LA - Jared Green spent four years at the University of Virginia, earning his bachelor’s degree in anthropology. To him, it was the only major that made perfect sense. “I just added two things together, really,” Green said.

“Anthropology is the study of people and culture, and how they interact,” he said. “My favorite thing to do is travel, and my second-favorite thing to do is write. I figured I’d put them both together.”

The writing part may come in time. Green has already proven he knows how to travel. With one year left to play college football, Green, a senior wide receiver, decided this summer to transfer from Virginia to Southern. With the Jaguars, he said he believes he can play more often, maybe draw the attention of a few NFL scouts.

“He’s got speed. He’s got size,” SU coach Stump Mitchell said. “He wasn’t the primary receiver at Virginia, but he caught some balls, and we’re a passing offense. That was the main thing he wanted to be involved with, because he has aspirations of playing at the next level.”
