UNC Football Freshman Profile: Wide Receiver Vari Green

Posted Feb 28, 2024
UNC freshman receiver Javarius Green was a U.S. Army All-American Bowl participant. His father, Willie Green, won two Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos but never pushed football on Vari. In fact, Vari didn’t start playing football until eighth grade. "He let me go on my own path, and then one day I decided to pick up the football and took it from there." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
