Stephfon P. Green (born May 28, 1989) is an American football running back who is currently a free agent.
Green attended John F. Kennedy High School in the Bronx where he was coached by Alex Vega. He played tailback and safety and was named as a first team All-Conference selection. During his senior season, he appeared in only the first 5 games, but took advantage of his opportunities as he rushed for 740 yards and 10 touchdowns on just 50 carries, averaging 14.8 yards per carry. On defense, he recorded 21 tackles and two interceptions. In a game against Lincoln High School (Brooklyn), he had 330 yards rushing and 5 touchdowns on only 6 carries for an incredible 55 yard average per carry and a long of 86 yards. Two games later he had a 95-yard run. His senior season was cut short the following week against South Shore when he broke his right ankle.
In his junior year, Green appeared in nine games and rushed for more than 1,000 yards and 13 touchdowns. As a kick returner, he returned kickoffs for two touchdowns and added two interceptions on defense.
He was recruited by Michigan State, Rutgers and Syracuse, but committed to attend Penn State in July 2006. He was rated as a 3 star prospect, and the 38th ranked cornerback in the country.
Green is majoring in crime, law and justice. He has said, “I always tell everybody, and they get surprised when I say that, but football is my Plan B. I’m here on a scholarship, but at the same time, I’m getting a free education, so I’m going to take advantage of that. ” He is a charter member of the Eta Alpha chapter of Iota Phi Theta fraternity.
Stephfon Green was recruited by Penn State as a defensive back, but soon after arriving, coaches determined that his speed was better suited for the tailback position. He has been clocked at 4.25 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
Green redshirted his freshman season at Penn State and practiced mostly with the scout team on offense as the Lions had Austin Scott, Rodney Kinlaw and Evan Royster at tailback.
