AJ Green breaks down how he's handling the hype ahead of a anticipated freshman year
Much was asked of AJ Green the moment he arrived at Northern Iowa.
The hometown freshman saw his responsibility instantly match the recruiting hype. There were patches of adversity to overcome as with any first year. But overall, Green delivered on early expectations with a strong opening act.
Tuesday, Green was named the Missouri Valley Conference’s freshman of the year. He’s only the third Panther to win the award and the first since Seth Tuttle in 2012. Green was also selected to the all-MVC third team, the all-freshman team and the all-newcomer team.
