Mississippi State linebacker Gerri Green earned a spot on the All-SEC Freshman Team selected by the league’s coaches.
Green appeared in all 12 of the Bulldogs games during the regular season recording 44 tackles, 2.5 for loss and an interception. The 6-foot-4, 243-pounder from Greenville redshirted his initial season in Starkville and ranked fifth in the SEC in tackles among freshmen this fall.
MSU coach Dan Mullen has placed a player on the All-SEC Freshman team in each of his seven seasons and a dozen overall. Nine of those players have gone on to sign an NFL contract.
