2009 Outlook
Cody Green came to Nebraska as one of the most heralded recruits in the 2009 Husker signing class. The 6-4, 220-pound quarterback joined the Nebraska program in January after completing course requirements at Dayton High School in the fall semester. Green was one of three members of the recruiting class to join the team for the second semester and his early arrival allowed him an extra 15 practices to learn the Husker offense. Green had a solid spring and will enter the fall in the battle for playing time at quarterback with juniors Zac Lee and Latravis Washington.

Before Nebraska (Dayton HS)
Green was one of eight Texans in the Huskers' 2008 signing class. He had a remarkable senior season as he led Dayton High and Coach Jerry Stewart to a 13-2 record and a Class 4A state runner-up finish. A true dual threat as a signal caller, Green amassed nearly 5,000 yards of total offense. Green threw for 3,265 yards and 37 touchdowns, while rushing for 1,610 yards and 25 touchdowns.

In leading the Broncos to the state title game, Green produced more than 1,000 yards passing and nearly 800 rushing yards in six playoff games. In the 4A state title game, Green passed for 329 yards and six touchdowns, while rushing for 94 yards. Green topped 200 yards passing nine times as a senior, including a pair of 300-yard games. On the ground, he rushed for more than 100 yards eight times, including 270 yards against Brenham in the state playoffs. Green was named first-team all-area by the Houston Chronicle as a utility player and was also an honorable-mention Class 4A all-state selection by the Associated Press.

Green was slowed by an injury during his junior season that allowed him to play in only a few games. He first showed his talents for Dayton High as a sophomore, when he rushed for 689 yards and passed for 1,429 yards and 19 touchdowns, while completing better than 61 percent of his passes.

Green was listed among the top 25 overall players in the state of Texas by the Austin American-Statesman, Dallas Morning News, Rivals.com and SuperPrep. He was ranked among the top 10 quarterback prospects in the country by both Rivals.com and Scout.com. Green received numerous offers, but only visited Nebraska and committed to the Huskers in July of 2008.
