Expectations. They drive sports, and the world around them. They are what fans have of their sports stars. There is no exception of this for high school football, however warped that may be. So when a 6’4” Oregon commit appears out of Nowhere, Minnesota, questions, and yes, expectations are thrown into the mix.

“You can take all the room you want man” a seemingly star struck dad says to him when asked if we are in the way of his drilling with his son as we are taking pictures of him. As our photo shoot ends another one just begins, with the dad asking if he can take some pictures with his son. Shrugging the soon to be Oregon Duck agrees. Welcome to Allen, Seth Green.

“It’s a lot bigger, school wise, but the class sizes are smaller than what I had in Minnesota. The weather down here is also a lot nicer, that’s always a good thing. And football obviously.” Green says, rattling off a few things about his new town. Football. Obviously. The no brainer, the whole reason he chose us when his Dad packed up the family to move to Dallas for his job at IMS (a medical company).

“He knows I’m not Kyler, Kyler is one of a kind. But he [Coach Tom Westerberg] still expects me to perform” Green says. A dual threat quarterback out of Minnesota, although still in the same classificatio2n as Murray is, the two play very different styles of football.

“[Their] size is different. Speed is different. Kyler brought a lot to the table as far as knowledge and skill and now we’re trying to figure out what Seth can bring”, newly appointed offensive coordinator Kyle Westerberg said. This up coming year’s success will be based on who is taking the snap, and that decision will largely be based on spring ball performances.

“Obviously we’re looking for someone that can pull the trigger,” Westerberg said. Being able to fit someone into the system, whichever of the three going up for the starting role it may be, is key to excelling next year.

“He’s got to earn it, nothing is ever given to anybody.” Coach Westerberg says of the starting quarterback position. And he’s right, as of now there are three quarterbacks fighting for that one position, but Green has the experience.

“The offense is a lot faster and more up-tempo”, Green said of the Allen offense in comparison of his old one in Minnesota.

“I like Allen’s style, it’s a lot faster, and gives way more advantages at the quarterback position. It’s also really similar to the Oregon offense”, he goes on to say. It will be all about fitting in comfortably for next year, but adaption will be critical for the offense to thrive.

“We’re going to do it probably 95% the same, obviously there is that 5%. We’re going to add a wrinkle here and a wrinkle there”, Westerberg said about next seasons offense. For Seth Green, all eyes are on him. All eyes have been on him, even before he even arrived.

State Titles. It’s the epitome of a high school athletic career.

“We got to the quarterfinals and lost to the team that won it all” Green says about his career in Minnesota.

People can move together for entirely different reasons. Sometimes it’s for the neighborhood, or the job. But sometimes it’s for something more. A final shot. A last hope. Seth Green chose Allen for two reasons, the schooling and the football. We have hype around us. We have a $60 million dollar (half way) cracked stadium. We have three state titles in a row. We have lived up to our hype. Now it’s your move, Seth Green.
