TAMPA, MAY 7, 2024 – Former University of South Florida football standout SJ Green (Brandon, Fla.) has been selected for induction into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame (CFL). Enshrinement will take place on September 14
A Bulls wide receiver from 2003-06, Green went on to play 13 seasons (2007-2019) in the CFL for the Montreal Alouettes (2007-09 & 2010-16) and Toronto Argonauts (2017-19). He recorded 716 receptions and 10,222 receiving yards while notching 30 career 100-yard receiving games and 60 touchdown receptions. Green is one of 18 players to surpass 10,000 yards receiving in CFL history and ranks 12th all-time in receptions.
Green was part of three Grey Cup winning teams, claiming the trophy with Montreal in 2009 and 2010 and with Toronto in 2017. He was twice elected a CFL All-Star (2013 & 2017) and was chosen as a CFL East Division All-Star eight times from 2011 to 2015 in Montreal and from 2017-19 in Toronto.
A starter as a true-freshman at USF in 2004, Green was a top target for the Bulls for four seasons as the program transitioned from Conference USA to the Big EAST, earned the program’s first two bowl bids, and first bowl victory in the 2006 PapaJohns.com Bowl. He finished his career with 62 receptions for 864 yards and five touchdowns.
