Green recently announced that he is transferring to the Hill School. That move means the Blues have added a prospect who is the epitome of the modern day, two-way LSM. Green is athletic as well as fleet footed and owns incredible stick skills. His ability to swiftly convert turnovers into transition scoring chances is remarkable. The combination of Green’s elusive stick maneuvers and change of direction cuts make him a threat to go coast-to-coast for a goal. On defense, Green is a tenacious on-ball presence who routinely beats ball carriers to spots and turns them. He can cause turnovers via slaps, lifts, and pokes. Plus, Green excels at delivering powerful over heads as well as trail checks. Green is also a master at causing turnovers via well-timed double teams. This past season at Corner Canyon HS in Utah, Green assembled a stat line of 44 CTOs; 79 ground balls; 14 goals and 11 assists.

After first popping onto my radar with All-Star honors at Maverik Showtime, Green brings a plethora of traits that make him a promising young defender. Whether he’s lined up at close or LSM, he’s a reliable on-ball defender thanks to his footwork, tenacious disposition, and strong defensive principles. His stellar stick work helps make him the prospect that he is, as his handle is a hallmark of his game. Green is super smooth off the ground and can disrupt possessions by knocking down passes, and once the ball is in his stick, he does an excellent job of rolling away from pressure and legging the rock upfield in the clear.
