Arkansas' ground game received a much-need shot in the arm today with the announcement that running back Broderick Green has been cleared to play immediately, the (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette).
Green announced he was transferring from Southern Cal last November and, normally, would be forced to sit out a season after moving to a Div. 1-A school.
However, Green appealed to the NCAA as the reason for his transfer was to be closer to his ailing maternal grandmother. The organization agreed and reinstated his eligibility effective immediately.
Needless to say, Green was extremely pleased upon hearing the news.
"When I got out of class today they called me down to the office and told me the news and I went crazy" Green said. "I had been waiting all this time and I didn't know what the NCAA was thinking. We got the answer now and I'm ready to roll."
Arkansas director of compliance Jon Fagg got the word regarding Green's eligibility late yesterday afternoon.
Last season at USC, Green rushed for 168 yards and three touchdowns.
Including this season, the 240-pound back will have three years of eligibility remaining. The SEC Rocks!
