Florida State cornerback Ryan Green was tabbed by USA Today as a potential breakout star in the ACC for the 2015 season.

Green, who began his Seminoles career as a true freshman running back in 2013, rushed for 4.9 yards per carry during his rookie year. In 2014, the 5-11, 198-pounder was slowed by injuries and appeared in only seven games as a reserve, rushing for 31 yards.

With a need for corners, Florida State flipped Green to the defensive side of the ball where the junior could have a much bigger impact.
