E.G. Green signed with the Seminoles out of Fort Walton Beach High School and set the school record for career receiving touchdowns.
After redshirting in 1993, Green played in 45 games with 35 starts, including 34 consecutive, over his hall of fame career with the Seminoles. Over that span, he set the school record (since broken) with 29 touchdowns on 166 receptions for 2,920 yards that had stood for 25 years.
Green's 2,920 receiving yards were the second-highest career total for a Seminole at the time and still ranked fourth when he was inducted, while his 166 receptions were third and currently rank sixth on FSU's all-time list. He made at least one catch in 39 straight games and was a three-time All-ACC selection and second-team All-American his senior year when he caught 54 passes for 1,059 yards and 11 touchdowns. At the time, both his receiving yards and touchdown totals were fourth on FSU's single-season lists. His sophomore season featured a career-best 60 receptions, for 1,007 yards and 10 touchdowns.
After his FSU career, he was a third-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts in the 1998 NFL Draft and spent three seasons playing professionally.
