January 17, 2017 | Football
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Mississippi State linebacker Gerri Green is one of 14 Southeastern Conference student-athletes who have been selected to the first SEC Football Student-Athlete Leadership Council, the league office announced Tuesday.
The Council consists of one representative from each SEC institution, and the group will hold its first meeting at SEC headquarters in Birmingham Feb. 4.
"It's an honor to represent Mississippi State as a member of the SEC football leadership council," Green said. "This experience is one that I will be able to use beyond the football field and help me and our team in many ways. I'm excited to be a part of the council and hope to be a strong voice not only for MSU football but the entire MSU athletic family."
Green, who just completed his sophomore season, is majoring in agribusiness and was elected to serve on MSU's Student-Athlete Advisory Council. The Greenville, Miss., native finished the year with 43 tackles and played in all 13 games.
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey introduced new Student-Athlete Leadership Councils in 2016 for the sports of?football and men's and women's basketball in which, in addition to the conference's longstanding Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), provide student-athletes with additional opportunities to engage with campus leaders and conference office staff.
The councils serve as a conduit of communication to the conference office on issues related to student-athlete experience and student-athlete wellness. The groups also provide feedback on proposed rules governing the SEC and NCAA.
