Stephfon Green Class: Sophomore Hometown: Bronx, N.Y. High School: John F. Kennedy Height / Weight: 5-10 / 192 Position: RB Experience: JR H.S. Coach: Alex Vega

Stephfon Green provided the Nittany Lion defense with a talented and swift tailback to try and corral as a member of the foreign team in 2007. He also worked on the offensive field, earning repetitions carrying the ball in case he was needed. But, with Rodney Kinlaw and Evan Royster emerging as a strong tailback tandem, Green was able to redshirt during his freshman season. He made his Beaver Stadium debut one to remember in the 2008 Blue-White game. On the second play of the game, and his first carry, he zipped through the left side of the line and burst down the sideline untouched for a 57-yard score. Green is a vastly talented athlete and one of the squad's quickest players. The hard-working and strong Green has made significant progress during his first year in the program. He and Evan Royster likely will enter preseason camp as the primary candidates to earn the bulk of the carries this year. He was a prep teammate with Nittany Lion tackle Nerraw McCormack and linebacker Shaine Thompson. Green is one of seven returning players from New York, five of whom are from metropolitan New York City.
