Sophomore year doing Big things By Bill Greene Ohio recruiting analyst Posted May 23, 201

Miami Pace linebacker Trenton Greene had a fine sophomore season in 2009, and is expected to be one of the mainstays of a strong defensive unit this coming season. Green has impressed head coach Alvin Slaughter throughout spring practice, and is being looked at as a prospect to watch for the 2012 class in Florida. Bill Greene has the latest on this youngster.

Miami Pace junior linebacker Trenton Green had a fine season in 2009 and has continued that type of performance into spring football. Green will be looked at as one of head coach Alvin Slaughter's defensive playmakers heading into next season. "I'm just out here trying to get better," Green said of his performance so far this spring. "I need to be a lot better for next year. I'm a downhill tackler, who can run to the football. I'd like to be more of a leader this year."

"I did pretty good as a sophomore starter last year," he continued. "I think I can be the type of player that leads by example. We can be a better team this year, if we continue to work hard, and play as a team."

Green has aspirations of playing college football down the line, and his size, 5-foot-11, 185-pounds, will dictate a move to safety, in all likelihood.

"I definitely want to play college football some day," he said. "I have a 3.2 GPA, and I would love to be able to stay home and play for Miami, but that's just a dream right now."

"I want to help this make the playoffs this year, and send our seniors out the right way," he explained. "For me personally, I'd like to make the All-Dade County team, because I feel this is the best football in the state, and that would be a great accomplishment."

Sophomore year Monsignor Pace defense was led by talented senior LB Marqiues Dixon, but with him leaving to the Oregon Ducks somebody had to fill the void. Thats where Trenton Greene the talented youngster comes in. He becomes even more of a defensive threat becoming faster and quicker than the previous year. He lead his defense to a undefeated season outscoring opponents 389 to 119.
