Cornelius Green, St. Albans staff, coach, and long-time community member, was recently named as an inductee to the National High School Football Hall of Fame. In the 1970s, Green was a star athlete at Dunbar High School (D.C.), earning nine varsity letters as a student. During his senior year, Green amassed 40 touchdowns while also playing defense and received more than 80 collegiate scholarship offers from across the nation. Green committed to Ohio State University in 1972, and was named the starting quarterback during his sophomore year in 1973, becoming the first Black quarterback at the university. Although he faced severe adversity, he led the team to an undefeated season that same year, 10–0–1, and won the 1974 Rose Bowl MVP. Green went on to lead the Buckeyes to four Big Ten Championships and made four consecutive Rose Bowl appearances (three as a starter). In 1975, he was named a first-team All-American and Big Ten Most Valuable Player. Green was previously inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame, DCSAA Hall of Fame, and The Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame, among other honors. He continues to coach and mentor students, share his vibrant spirit and kind heart, and is a pillar of the STA community. Congratulations to Coach Green!
