“The past six years have been beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. Each football season holds countless memories made alongside my Wolverine brothers. To end my college career with three Big Ten Championships, two degrees, and a national championship is a blessing from God, for which I am forever grateful.”

“To my family, thank you for your endless support from Texas to Ann Arbor. My greatest accomplishments have come as a result of your belief in me at every level of this sport, giving me the opportunity to join this team and make history. To the entire University of Michigan sports staff, your roles as coaches, trainers, academic counselors, and nutritionists are the pillars of this exceptional program. Finally, thank you to the Michigan Wolverines fans whose overwhelming support is felt in the Big Ten House stadium and stadiums across the country.”

“Forever a Michigan Man,”

“German “Germ2x” Green”

For his career with the Wolverines, Green tallied 12 career tackles in limited action. He is a native of Desoto, Texas.
