BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Mississippi State team captain and community service leader Gerri Green was selected as a member of the Southeastern Conference Football Community Service Team, the league office announced Wednesday.
The SEC names a Community Service Team for each of its 21-league sponsored sports, looking to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to his community through superior service efforts.
One of the top edge rushers on the squad, Green has been a standout within the Starkville community throughout his time as a Bulldog and is also a nominee for the 2018 Wuerffel Trophy.
Green has been involved with community outreach since his freshman season, volunteering with projects like Read Across America and other individual mentoring and tutoring projects. Recently, Green has served as a mentor with Quad County Alternative School, heading tours of the football facilities on campus.
Despite balancing commitments of athletics and academics, Green still manages dedicate countless hours within the community and has spent time at Ward Stewart Elementary garden, local hospitals, escorting local elementary students to school and volunteering at MSU's youth football camps.
Green encourages other members of the football program to give back, and his efforts serve as an example of the character and leadership to underclassmen in the program. For his leadership, both on and off the field, Green was voted the defensive captain of the squad by his teammates earlier this year. For the second consecutive season, Green will also serve as a member of the Southeastern Conference Leadership Council.
The Greenville, Mississippi, native has started all 12 games for the Bulldogs this season and has recorded 30 total tackles, including 6.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. Playing in a total of 51 games over his career, Green has tallied 160 tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks while forcing six turnovers with three forced fumbles and three interceptions.
