Tony Green ’83 was one of the top defensive players ever to put on the Maroon and White. In his final three seasons in Easton, Green had a strangle hold on the starting middle guard position.

He proved his worth, pacing the squad in sacks during the 1980 season with four. His total climbed the following fall, registering a team-best seven sacks. In his senior campaign, Green sacked the opposing quarterback six times, good for second on the squad. Green was the ideal defensive lineman, registering 86 stops in his senior season, tops on the Leopards. When he left College Hill in 1983, he had accumulated 214 tackles. In his final two seasons, the Leopards won 16 of 21 contests. As a result of his stellar senior season, Green was named to several all-star teams. He was named honorable mention on the Associated Press Division I-AA All-American Team, but received first team recognition on the Kodak Division I-AA All American Team.
