IRMO, S.C. — One of the top skill players in the Midlands has committed to James Madison University.
Dutch Fork running back Jarvis Green made his announcement on Twitter, choosing to play for a program which will make its Sun Belt Conference debut this season.
The current running backs coach at James Madison is John Miller, the Spring Valley graduate and former James Madison receiver. Miller helped JMU to back-to-back appearances in the national championship game, which included winning the 2016 title.
Now, Miller will be coaching someone who has faced off against Spring Valley in recent years in Green who has accumulated some impressive statistics. This past season, Green rushed for nearly 1,600 yards and 32 touchdowns.
In the season opening win over Hough in Charlotte last week, Green returned an onsides kick 32 yards for a touchdown while adding a one-yard run.
