Tion Green came to Cincinnati from Sanford, Florida where he attended Lake Brantley High School. Green was a three-star recruit and was offered by the likes of Louisville, Temple, Purdue, and many other before choosing the Bearcats as his final destination.
Green showed up on UC’s campus in 2012 and would slowly increase his roll in the offense to become a consistent presence on the field for his final two years as a Bearcat. Green found a role in his sophomore season, rushing for 412 yards and seven scores, but lost out on being a force in 2014 when his season was cut short by an injury.
